Ideas for Season 2

What if next season the writers kept up the unreliable narrator device? 

There could be an episode next season centering on the Massacre at Vassy - the start of the many wars of religion - where Louis de Bourbon (Prince of Conde) tells Ramira HIS side of the story. In his version he is the only one fighting for Protestants to have the same freedoms and rights as everyone else. This would make for a more rounded character and an interesting look at how Louis sees himself. With his narration he becomes a freedom fighter for the oppressed. Protestants can’t teach/study at Universities, hold certain jobs, worship in public in many cities/provinces. He sees himself as the Huguenots’ savior in many ways--their version of Martin Luther King Jr. He can even physically look thinner and more dignified instead of fulfilling the short/fat one dynamic he has with Antoine when Catherine is narrating. 

Since other shows set in this time period do not have the unreliable narrator device, this show should use it to their advantage. This story is filled with people manipulating each other--why not manipulate the audience while you’re at it? 

Plus it gives Ramira some internal conflict: who does she believe? Maybe Catherine could try to make her into one of her Flying Squadron (spy/seductresses) but Ramira doesn’t like this, so hearing Louis’s side of the story could help bring tension between her and Catherine, giving Ramira something to do next season since historically she never existed and could easily be overshadowed by the show’s historical figures and events.

I've finally made it to the last third of Messieurs de La Rochejaquelein (these past weeks have been crazy busy!), and I must say, poor Louis really does draw the short straw. Tousche d'Avrigny seems quite fixated on the fact that Louis' chief claim to fame is being M. Henri's younger sibling. It’s rather amusing how much of a Henri fanboy he is, particularly when he suggests, quite blatantly, that Victoire (formerly Lescure’s wife) married Louis either out of pity, given the inheritance of Clisson should have rightfully reverted to the La Rochejaquelein family after Lescure's demise, or because he echoed Henri's charm which had previously "seduced" her.

I mean, why else, in the early 19th century, would a widow approaching her thirties marry a man five years her junior, who by all accounts seems kind, considerate, and brave? Surely, it must be her having the hots for his late brother, right?
