His first wife was Princess Marguerite de Valois, sister of several French kings. She was called Queen Margot as she was queen of Navarre, Henry's original kingdom. She and Henry were cousins and her brothers died one by one and her cousin became king of both France and Navarre. He divorced Margot as she could not have kids and then married an Italian princess, Marie de Medici. He had many famous kings and queens for sons and daughters and his granchildren were even more famous(his grandchildren:Louis XIV, Charles II of England, James II of England,Queen Marie Therese of France, etc).
