Orleans. He became king in 156o by the See also:death of his See also:brother See also:Francis II., but as he was only ten years old the powerwas in the hands of the See also:queen-See also:mother, Catherine. Charles seems to have been a youth of See also:good parts, lively and agreeable, but he had a weak, passionate and fantastic nature. His See also:education had spoiled him. He was See also:left to his whims—even the strangest— and to his See also:taste for violent exercises; and the excesses to which he gave himself up ruined his See also:health. Proclaimed of See also:age on the 17th of See also:August 1563, he continued to be absorbed in his fantasies and his See also:hunting, and submitted docilely to the authority of his mother. In 1570 he was married to See also:Elizabeth of See also:Austria, daughter of See also:Maximilian II. It was about this See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O. Eng. getidan, to happen, " even-tide," &c.; it is not directly related to Lat. tempus)

time that he dreamed of making a figure in the See also:world. The successes of his brother, the duke of See also:Anjou, at See also:Jarnac and Moncontour had already caused him some See also:jealousy. When See also:Coligny came to See also:court, he received him very warmly, and seemed at first to accept the See also:idea of an intervention in the See also:Netherlands against the Spaniards. For the upshot of this See also:adventure see the See also:article ST See also:BARTHOLOMEW, See also:MASSACRE OF. Charles was in these circumstances no hypocrite, but weak, hesitating and See also:ill-balanced. Moreover, the terrible events in which he had played a See also:part transformed his See also:character. He became See also:melancholy, severe and taciturn. "It is feared," said the Venetian See also:ambassador, " that he may become cruel." Under-See also:mined by See also:fever, at the age of twenty he had the See also:appearance of an old See also:man, and See also:night and See also:day he was haunted with nightmares. He died on the 3oth of May 1574. By his See also:mistress, See also:Marie Touchet, he had one son, Charles, duke of Angoule"me. Charles IX. had a sincere love of letters, himself practised See also:poetry, was the See also:patron of See also:Ronsard and the poets of the See also:Pleiad, and granted privileges to the first See also:academy founded by See also:Antoine de Baif (afterwards the See also:Academic du Palais). He left a See also:work on hunting, See also:Train; de la See also:chasse royale, which was published in 1625, and reprinted in 1859.
