Re: Historical Info 

Did You Know-

That the high-heeled shoe for women was invented by Catherine de'Medici, allegedly with the help of Leonardo da Vinci?

She was much more than a mysterious figure in black, married at 14 and later becoming the power behind the thrones of her sons.
Here's a link to a Wikipedia article about this colorful figure in history-
