Msg event.pngWars of Religion in France


The Wars of Religion in France lasted between 1562 and 1598. The first seven wars (1562-1563, 1567-1568, 1568-1570, 1572-1573, 1575-1577, 1577, 1579-1580) had common features: a split society between Catholics and Protestants, fragmented and erratic military operations, and peace edicts that were more like truces than real peace. The question of the royal succession put the very existence of the kingdom at stake, even dividing Catholics in opposing fractions. After 1589 and the murder of King Henry III, Spanish intervention transformed the civil war into an outright international conflict. The violence and hatred between Protestants and Catholics had increased all over France in the years 1562-1572. The powerful Duke of Guise (from the Lorraine province) set up a Catholic League to react against the Protestants and what he considered a weak royal power. Although he was assassinated on 23rd December 1588 upon the order of King Henry III, the League then openly revol...

Msg event.pngThe Assassination of [Root.Monarch.GetTitle] [Root.Monarch.GetName]


Inspired by treasonous anti-royalist tracts, the religious fanatic [Root.fra_royal_assassin.GetName] has murdered the [Root.Monarch.GetTitle]! The assassin entered the royal camp as a humble friar, claiming that he wished to bless the [Root.Monarch.GetTitle], but instead drew a knife and thrust it into the [Root.Monarch.GetTitle]’s spleen, fatally wounding [Root.Monarch.GetHerHim]. [Root.fra_royal_assassin.GetName] was immediately executed, but his crime will change the course of French history forever.

[Root.Monarch.GetName] had no legitimate heir, and so the throne passes to the distantly related House of Bourbon. Who among the Bourbons is to succeed is a controversial matter: the moderates and Huguenots support the Protestant Henri, while zealous Catholics support his uncle Charles, a respected Cardinal of the Catholic Church.

Msg event.pngThe St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre


The unrest that led to the St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre in 1572 started with a failed assassination attempt on Admiral Gaspard de Coligny, the military and political leader of the Huguenots. In fear of Huguenot reprisals, King Charles IX decided to strike first and ordered the elimination of the Protestant leaders. The severely injured Coligny was dragged from his bed, killed and thrown out the window. Paris now exploded in a wave of popular violence as citizens began to hunt down and kill Protestants. Despite the king's attempts to stop it, the massacre lasted for three days. Charles also ordered his provincial governors to prevent further violence, but the massacre spread to another twelve cities, killing thousands of Huguenots.

Msg event.pngLa Ligue catholique


The French Catholic League was founded by Henry I, Duke of Guise, in 1576. Its primary function was to defend the Catholic faith against the growing influence of Huguenots and keep Henry of Navarre off the throne. But it also suited Henry as a political tool to try and usurp the throne for himself. The League became a powerful player in the French Wars of Religion, often finding itself in conflict with both the Huguenots and the King.
How shall we respond to the formation of a [Root.Religion.GetName] League?

Msg event.pngDay of the Barricades


Day of the Barricades was a public uprising on 12 May 1588 in Catholic Paris against Henry III who was considered too moderate and hesitant in dealing with Protestants. It was led by the head of the Catholic League, Henri of Guise, who despite a royal interdict had returned to the city. The King called in several regiments of Swiss Guards and the Gardes-Françaises, an act that violated a Paris city privilege not to have foreign troops quartered in the city. After a rumor spread that Henri of Guise were to be arrested, a city militia quickly barricaded many streets, hindering the royal troops. Fearing for his own security, the King was forced to flee the city. From his new position of power, Henri of Guise forced the King to sign a new edict, where he promised to never conclude peace with the heretics.

Msg event.pngThe Assassination of Henri of Guise


After the Day of the Barricades Henry III refused to return to Paris out of fear for his own security. He had personally witnessed what a dangerous threat to the Crown the leader of the Catholic League, Henri of Guise, had become and now decided to strike back. On December 23, 1588, Henri and his brother, the Cardinal de Guise, were lured to a private meeting with the King at the Château de Blois. Entering the meeting room, the Kings guardsmen attacked Henri and stabbed him in the heart while others arrested the Cardinal who was killed shortly after. To rid himself of further opposition, the King had Henri's son arrested as well. The Catholic League now declared open war against the Crown and were supported by the Parliament of Paris, who brought criminal charges against the King. Henry III responded by joining forces with his cousin, Henry of Navarre.
