Henry III

(1551-1589, r. 1574-1589) House of Valois, his reign was suffused with blood, at first because of the continuous Wars of Religion that pitted Catholics against Huguenots, but later because of the struggles that arose when it became clear that he was going to be the last of the Valois line. He sought to steer a middle course and gained support from both neutral Catholics and Protestants. He had the duke and cardinal of Guise assassinated out of desperation, which only angered the Catholic League. He then was forced to ally with the then-Protestant Henry of Navarre. He was assassinated by a crazed friar in 1589 and Henry of Navarre succeeded him as Henry IV.

Massacre at Vassy in Champagne, France

(1562) the duke of Guise massacred a Protestant Congregation which ended the January edict and marked the beginning of the French wars of religion.

Saint Bartholomew's Day Massacre

(1572) killings on the occasion of Protestant Henry of Navarre's marriage to the king's sister Margeret of Valois, in which many Huguenot leaders attended; Coligny and 3,000 other Huguenots were assassinated. The order was mainly meant to eliminate Coligny, as directed by Catherine de Medicis. Catherine feared Coligny's growing influence over the King, Charles IX, who had agreed to support France's invasion into Netherlands in support of the Dutch Protestants. This would put France directly in line with Spain, who was the more powerful body. In order to keep France away from a losing battle, Catherine sought to assassinate the man in charge of this plan.

Henry II

(r. 1556-59) As king of France, he succeeded his father, Francis I, and began a religious repression that created Calvinist martyrs, perhaps further encouraging Protestant dissent. He established new measures against Protestants in the Edict of Chateaubriand in 1551. The spread of Calvinism led him to sign the Treaty of Canteau-Cambresis in 1559. After decades of reckless invasions, he agreed to respect Habsburg dominance in Italy and control over Flanders (Netherlands). In 1559, he was accidentally killed by an errant lance during a jousting tournament celebrating peace with Spain, and so his sickly son, Francis II, succeeded him.

Elizabeth I

She sets up a national Church, is declared head of the Anglican Church, establishes a state Church that moderates Catholics and Protestants, allowed priests to marry, allowed sermons to be delivered in English, and made the Book of Common Prayer more acceptable to Catholics. Never married, and died without an heir. As a result, the Tudor Dynasty ended with her reign.

Edict of Nantes

A document of religious toleration issued by Henry IV which ended religious fighting between Protestants and Catholics in France; granted the Huguenots freedom of public worship, right of assembly admission to public offices and universities, and permission to maintain fortified towns, but only in their own territories.
