Henry III., was See also:born at Sorbon in the See also:Ardennes, and became a Dominican See also:friar. See also:Civil See also:war was raging in See also:France, and Clement became an ardent See also:partisan of the See also:League; his mind appears to have become unhinged by religious fanaticism, and he talked of exterminating the heretics, and formed a See also:plan to kill Henry III. His project was encouraged by some of the heads of the League; he was assured of temporal rewards if he succeeded, and of eternal See also:bliss if he failed. Having obtained letters for the king, he See also:left See also:Paris on the 31st of See also:July 1589, and reached St See also:Cloud, the headquarters of Henry, who was besieging Paris. On the following See also:day he was admitted to the royal presence, and presenting his letters he told the king that he had an important and confidential See also:message to deliver. The attend-ants then withdrew, and while Henry was See also:reading the letters Clement mortally wounded him with a See also:dagger which had been concealed beneath his cloak. The See also:assassin was at once killed by the attendants who rushed in, and Henry died See also:early on thefollowing day. Clement's See also:body was afterwards quartered and burned. This See also:deed, however, was viewed with far different feelings in Paris and by the partisans of the League, the murderer being regarded as a See also:martyr and extolled by See also:Pope See also:Sixtus V., while even his See also:canonization was discussed.
