Héléna Soubeyrand: Queen Anne of Brittany

Quotes 

• Queen Anne : Our son, Charles Orlando, died four months ago. He was three years old. Our only issue.

  Cesare Borgia : How cruel to lose a child.

  Queen Anne : Yet, I did not cry. Such weakness, such indulgence never felt proper for someone of my birth. During my son's funeral cortege I followed his tiny body as we approached the Cathedrale de Saint Martin. Passing my subjects who lined the streets, I remained as always, stoic. And then Cardinal Briconnet whispered: Your Highness, you do not need your people's respect because you have their love. And I looked upon the mourners and I saw all of France bereaved. I touched my boy's hand and I wept every tear I have ever withheld. What my people showed me, was true love.

• Queen Anne : You do not speak of love, Cesare Borgia. You speak of romance. Romance is for young girls.

  Cesare Borgia : I am a man.

  King Charles VIII : Ah, so you really speak of lust.
