 ST. BARTHOLOMEW’S DAY MASACRE August 24, 1572

Saint Bartholomew’s Day massacre in France led to the fight of the Three Henrys due to monarchial weakness.　 It relates to the origins of the conflict on War of Three Henrys and also was a consequence of the strife with the Huguenots. Saint Bartholomew’s Day massacre was started because of the tensions between the Huguenots and the Catholics. The result of Saint Bartholomew’s day massacre was War of the Three Henry’s, a conflict between a Catholic Henry in Guise, Navarre’s Protestant Henry, and King Henry III, that wanted to take over the other party; such as the Guises who wanted to overrun the land with Calvinism and replace Henry III with a member of the Guise.
