Victoria of France (French: Victoire de Valois,[lower-alpha 1] 24 June 1556 – 17 August 1556) was the daughter of King Henry II of France and Catherine de' Medici. She had a stillborn twin named Jeanne, but died in infancy as well.[1]

Born on 24 June 1556,[2] Victoire of France was one of two twin daughters born to Henry II of France and his wife, Catherine de' Medici. Her sister Jeanne was stillborn due to surgeons breaking her legs to save her mother's life;[lower-alpha 2] Victoire survived, dying around two months later. According to the diplomat Simon Renard, the birth nearly killed Queen Catherine,[3] and the royal couple were advised by the King's physician to not have any further children.

  1. ↑ Almost all sources refer to her by her French name Victoire, not as Victoria.
  2. ↑ Some sources claim that Joan was the one who was stillborn.
