Подходящей эпитафией для Екатерины могли бы послужить слова макиавеллиевского «Государя»: «Чтобы стать великим правителем, приходится порой преступать человеческие законы». Как жена, мать, бабка, регентша и королева Франции она была человеком действия, амбиций и страстей — великой правительницей и великой женщиной.
