Instructor: France Marie Haeger Friday Courses Meet Victoria: Widow, Queen, Woman
Victoria’s life without Prince Albert, her children scattered to royal marriages throughout Europe, what can we learn about this woman who has an entire era named after her? Imagine a mother, ruling the largest country in the world. A country on which the sun never sets, widowed from her only husband, with a grown son in the wings, itching to take over the sceptor and the crown! The relationship between Victoria and Bertie, the influence of Bertie’s wife, Alexandra, and woven among these sub plots in Victoria’s life, was there really anything going on with Mr. Brown in Scotland, the Queen’s Equerry? Prudish, opinionated, and now captured by Hollywood’s vision of her in such films as Mrs. Brown, and the Young Victoria, Queen Victoria’s life spanned wars, marriage, childbirth, and widowhood. Meet this woman: Who she was in history and who she was in her private life.

Rising from humble origins, the Medici family of merchants and bankers attained great heights of wealth, power, and influence. Patrons of artists, architects, and scientists, they made Florence the focal point of the Renaissance. Their influence even extended deeply into the Vatican with the rise of two Medici popes. Spanning three centuries, their story unfolds in an era of political chaos, family rivalries, and bloody intrigue, while at the same time a brilliant cultural legacy blossoms in painting, sculpture, architecture, and literature. Explore the fascinating dynasty of the Medici and the glorious rise of Renaissance Florence. Recommended reading for this course is Christopher Hibbert’s “The House of the Medici: Its Rise and Fall”.
