king of See also:France, third son of Henry II. and See also:Catherine de' See also:Medici, was See also:born at See also:Fontainebleau on the 19th of See also:September 1551, arid succeeded to the See also:throne of France on the See also:death of his See also:brother See also:Charles IX. in 1574. In his youth, as See also:duke of See also:Anjou, he was warmly attached to the Huguenot opinions, as we learn from his See also:sister See also:Marguerite de See also:Valois; but his unstable See also:character soon gave way before his See also:mother's will, and both Henry arid Marguerite remained choice ornaments of the See also:Catholic See also:- CHURCH

Church. Henry won, under the direction of See also:Marshal de Tavannes, two brilliant victories at See also:Jarnac and Moncontour (r569). He was the favourite son of his mother, and took See also:part with her in organizing the See also:massacre of St See also:Bartholomew. In 1573 Catherine procured his See also:election to the throne of See also:Poland. Passionately enamoured of the princess of See also:Conde, he set. out reluctantly to See also:Warsaw, but, on the death of his brother Charles IX. in 1J741 he escaped from his See also:Polish subjects, who endeavoured to retain him by force, came back to France and assumed the See also:crown. He returned to a wretched See also:kingdom, torn with See also:civil See also:war. In spite of his See also:good intentions, he was incapable of governing, and abandoned the See also:power to his mother and his favourites. Yet he was no dullard. He was a See also:man of keen intelligence and cultivated mind, and deserves as much as See also:Francis I. the See also:title of See also:patron of letters and See also:art. But his incurable indolence and love of See also:pleasure prevented him from taking any active part in affairs. Surrounded by his See also:mignons, he scandalized the See also:people by his effeminate See also:manners. He dressed himself in See also:women's clothes, made a collection of little See also:dogs and hid in the cellars when it thundered. The disgust aroused by the vices and effeminacy of the king increased the popularity of Henry of See also:Guise. After the " See also:day of the barricades" (the 12th of May 1588), the king, perceiving that his See also:influence was lost, resolved to rid himself of Guise by assassination; and on the 23rd of See also:December 1 588 his faithful bodyguard, the " See also:forty-five," carried out his See also:design at the See also:chateau of See also:Blois. But the fanatical preachers of the See also:League clamoured furiously for vengeance, and on the 1st of See also:August 1589, while' Henry III. was investing See also:Paris with Henry of See also:Navarre, Jacques See also:Clement, a Dominican See also:friar, was introduced into his presence on false letters of recommendation, and plunged a See also:knife into the See also:lower part of his See also:body. He died a few See also:hours afterward's with See also:great fortitude. By his wife See also:Louise of See also:Lorraine, daughter of the See also:count of Vaudemont, he had no See also:children, and en his deathbed he recognized Henry of Navarre as his successor.
