When Henry II died, his mistress, Diane de Poitiers (who was 19 years older than him) was kicked out of her perfect little castle Chenonceau by Henry's wife Catherine de Medecis.

Catherine gave Diane a smaller and more 'modest' chateau to live in, Chaumont sur Loire which sits high about the town on the stone hill.
