→history + the war of the three henrys (1587-1589)

requested by anonymous

The edict proscribing Protestantism led to war - the war known as the War of the Three Henries; Henry III, Henry Duke of Guise, and Henry of Navarre. During its course Henry of Navarre gave an indication of the fine military qualities he possesed by winning a brilliant victory in a pitched battle. But the war dragged on. More and more it became evident that the King was an unwilling partner and that he and his mother were doing their rather futile best to bring about peace, while more and more Guise and his adherents showed their contempt for the person and authority of the King and their determination to pursue their own ends in defiance of him.  –  J. E. Neale, The Age of Catherine de Medici
