See also:Catherine de' See also:Medici refused to take steps against See also:Coligny, who was formally accused by the duchess of Guise and her See also:brothers-in-See also:law of having incited the See also:murder. In 1566 she insisted on a formal reconciliation at See also:Moulins between the Guises and Coligny, at which, however, none of the sons of the murdered See also:man was See also:present. Henry and his brothers were, however, compelled in 1572 to sign an ambiguous assent to this agreement. Guise's widow married See also:- JAMES

James of See also:Savoy, duke of See also:Nemours, and the See also:young duke at sixteen went to fight against the See also:Turks in See also:Hungary. On the fresh outbreak of See also:civil See also:war in 1567 he returned to See also:France and served under his See also:uncle See also:Aumale. In the autumn of 1568 he received a considerable command, and speedily came into rivalry with Henry of See also:Valois, duke of See also:Anjou. He had not inherited his father's generalship, and his rashness and headstrong valour more than once brought disaster on his troops, but the showy quality of his fighting brought him See also:great popularity in the See also:army. In the See also:defence of See also:Poitiers in 1569 with his See also:brother, the duke of See also:Mayenne, he showed more solid abilities as a soldier. On the conclusion of See also:peace in 1570 he returned to See also:court, where he made no See also:secret of his See also:attachment to See also:Margaret of Valois. His pretensions were violently resented by her brothers, who threatened his See also:life, and he saved himself by a precipitate See also:marriage with Catherine of See also:Cleves (daughter of See also:Francis of Cleves, duke of See also:Nevers, and Margaret of See also:Bourbon), the widow of a Huguenot nobleman., See also:Antoine de Crog, See also:prince of Porcien. Presently he ended his disgrace by an apparent reconciliation with Henry of Valois and an See also:alliance with Catherine de' Medici. He was an See also:accomplice in the first attack on Coligny's life, and when permission for the See also:massacre of See also:Saint See also:Bartholomew had been extorted from See also:Charles IX. he roused See also:Paris against the See also:Huguenots, and satisfied his See also:personal vengeance by superintending the murder of Coligny. He was now the acknowledged See also:chief of the See also:Catholic party, and the See also:power of his See also:family was further increased by the marriage (1575) of Henry III. with See also:Louise of Vaudemont, who belonged to the See also:elder See also:branch of the See also:house of Lorraine. In a fight at Dormans (loth of See also:October 1575), the only Catholic victory in a disastrous See also:campaign, Guise received a See also:face See also:wound which won for him his father's name of Balafre and helped to secure the passionate attachment of the Parisians. He refused to acquiesce in the treaty of See also:Beaulieu (5th of May 1576), and with the support of the See also:Jesuits proceeded to See also:form a " See also:holy See also:league " for the defence of the See also:Roman Catholic See also:- CHURCH
- CHURCH (according to most authorities derived from the Gr. Kvpcaxov [&wµa], " the Lord's [house]," and common to many Teutonic, Slavonic and other languages under various forms—Scottish kirk, Ger. Kirche, Swed. kirka, Dan. kirke, Russ. tserkov, Buig. cerk

Church. The terms of enrolment enjoined offensive See also:action against all who refused to join. This association had been preceded by various provincial leagues among the Catholics, notably one at Peronne. See also:Conde had been imposed on this See also:town as See also:governor by the terms of the peace, and the See also:local See also:nobility banded together to resist him. This, like the Holy League itself, was See also:political as well as religious in its aims, and was partly inspired by revolt against the royal authority. In the direction of the League Guise was hampered by See also:- PHILIP
- PHILIP (Gr.'FiXtrsro , fond of horses, from dn)^eiv, to love, and limos, horse; Lat. Philip pus, whence e.g. M. H. Ger. Philippes, Dutch Filips, and, with dropping of the final s, It. Filippo, Fr. Philippe, Ger. Philipp, Sp. Felipe)

Philip of See also:Spain, who subsidized the See also:movement, while he also had to submit to the dictation of the Parisian See also:democracy. Ulterior ambitions were freely ascribed to him. It was asserted that papers seized from his See also:envoy to See also:Rome, See also:Jean See also:David, revealed a definite See also:design of substituting the Lorraines, who represented themselves as the successors of See also:Charlemagne, for the Valois; but these papers were probably a Huguenot See also:forgery. Henry III. eventually placed himself at the See also:head of the League, and resumed the war against the Huguenots; but on the conclusion of peace (See also:September 1577) he seized the opportunity of disbanding the Catholic associations. The See also:- KING

king's See also:jealousy of Guise increased with the duke's popularity, but he did not venture on an open attack, nor did he dare to avenge the murder by Guise's partisans of one of his personal favourites, Saint-Megrin, who had been set on by the court to See also:compromise the reputation of the duchess of Guise.'
1 This incident supplied See also:Alexandre See also:Dumas Ore with the subject
of his See also:Henri III et sa tour (1829).
Meanwhile the duke had entered on an equivocal alliance with See also:Don See also:John of See also:Austria. He was also in See also:constant See also:correspondence with See also:Mary of Lorraine, and meditated a descent on See also:Scotland in support of the Catholic cause. But the great riches of the Guises were being rapidly dissipated, and in 1578 the duke became a pensioner of Philip II. When in 1584 the death of the duke of Anjou made Henry of See also:Navarre the next See also:heir to the See also:throne, the prospect of a Huguenot See also:dynasty roused the Catholics to forget their See also:differences, and led to the formation of a new league of the Catholic nobles. At the end of the same See also:year Guise and his brother, the duke of Mayenne, with the assent of other Catholic nobles, signed a. treaty at See also:Joinville with Philip II., fixing the See also:succession to the See also:crown on Charles, See also:cardinal of Bourbon, to the exclusion of the See also:Protestant princes of his house. In See also:March 1585 the chiefs of the League issued the See also:Declaration of Peronne, exposing their grievances against the See also:government and announcing their intention to restore the dignity of See also:religion by force of arms. On the refusal of Henry III. to accept See also:Spanish help against his Huguenot subjects, war See also:broke out. The chief cities of France declared for the League, and Guise, who had recruited his forces in See also:Germany and See also:Switzerland, took up his headquarters at Chalons, while Mayenne occupied See also:Dijon, and his relatives, the See also:dukes of See also:Elbeuf, Aumale and Merceeur,2 roused See also:Normandy and See also:Brittany. Henry III. accepted, or feigned to accept, the terms imposed by the Guises at Nemours (7th of See also:July 1585). The edicts in favour of the Huguenots were immediately revoked. Guise added to his reputation as the Catholic See also:champion by defeating the See also:German auxiliaries of the Huguenots at Vimory (October 1587) and Auneau (See also:November 1587). The protestations of See also:loyalty to Henry III. which had marked the earlier manifestoes of the League were modified. Obedience to the king was now stated to depend on his giving See also:- PROOF (in M. Eng. preove, proeve, preve, &°c., from O. Fr . prueve, proeve, &c., mod. preuve, Late. Lat. proba, probate, to prove, to test the goodness of anything, probus, good)
proof of Catholic zeal and showing no favour to See also:heresy. In See also:April 1588 Guise arrived in Paris, where he put himself at the head of the Parisian See also:mob, and on the 12th of May, known as the See also:Day of the Barricades, he actually had the crown within his grasp. He refused to treat with Catherine de' Medici, who was prepared to make peace at any cost, but restrained the populace from revolution and permitted Henry to See also:- ESCAPE (in mid. Eng. eschape or escape, from the O. Fr. eschapper, modern echapper, and escaper, low Lat. escapium, from ex, out of, and cappa, cape, cloak; cf. for the sense development the Gr. iichueoOat, literally to put off one's clothes, hence to sli
escape from Paris. Henry came to terms with the League in May, and made Guise See also:lieutenant-See also:general of the royal armies. The estates-general, which were assembled at See also:Blois, were devoted to the Guise See also:interest, and alarmed the king by giving See also:voice to the political as well as the religious aspirations of the League. Guise remained at the court of Blois after receiving repeated warnings that Henry meditated See also:treason. On the 25th of December he was summoned to the king's chamber during a sitting of the royal See also:council, and was murdered by assassins carefully posted by Henry III. himself. The cardinal of Lorraine was murdered in See also:prison on the next day. The See also:history of the Guises thenceforward centres in the duke of Mayenne (q.v.).
By his wife, Catherine of Cleves, the third duke had fourteen See also:children: among them Charles, 4th duke of Guise (1571–1640); See also:Claude, duke of Chevreuse (1578–1657), whose wife, See also:Marie de See also:Rohan, duchess of ,Chevreuse, became famous for her intrigues; See also:- LOUIS
