Book excerpt: HENRI IV (1553-1610) was a favorite among French kings -- for good reason. Born a Protestant in southwestern France, he was centuries ahead of his time in his ideas about religious tolerance. Like his friend the philosopher Michel de Montaigne, he fought for Protestants and Catholics to live peacefully together and succeeded in ending decades-long civil wars. However, his lust and driving sexuality often threatened to upset his high ideals. The Royal Huguenot takes pace during the struggle for power among the Bourbon, Guise, and Valois families in 16th century France and tells the often lurid and surprising story of the five most prominent women in his life: Marguerite de Valois (1553-1615), oftentimes called "Queen Margot," was Henri IV's first wife and a Catholic. She was intelligent, manipulative, and could be either a trial or a temptress for Henry. Their arranged marriage was meant to end the wars between the Catholics and the Huguenots, French Protestants. Corisande d'Andoins (1554-1620) was Henry's true love, but she was too proud and wise to become only his mistress or follow him from battlefield to battlefield. Gabrielle d'Estrées (1573-1599), besotted Henry for many years, and bore him four illegitimate children before an early death would snatch the throne from her. Henriette d'Entragues (1579-1633), wily and beautiful, crazed Henry with her intrigues to trap him into making her his queen. Marie de Medici (1573-1642), an Italian princess, finally became Henry's queen and bore him six children, including Louis XIII, so securing a long line of French Bourbon kings.

Book Synopsis The Huguenots by : Geoffrey Treasure
Download or read book The Huguenots written by Geoffrey Treasure and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2013-07-30 with total page 516 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the author of Louis XIV, an unprecedented history of the entire Huguenot experience in France, from hopeful beginnings to tragic diaspora. Following the Reformation, a growing number of radical Protestants came together to live and worship in Catholic France. These Huguenots survived persecution and armed conflict to win—however briefly—freedom of worship, civil rights, and unique status as a protected minority. But in 1685, the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes abolished all Huguenot rights, and more than 200,000 of the radical Calvinists were forced to flee across Europe, some even farther. In this capstone work, Geoffrey Treasure tells the full story of the Huguenots’ rise, survival, and fall in France over the course of a century and a half. He explores what it was like to be a Huguenot living in a “state within a state,” weaving stories of ordinary citizens together with those of statesmen, feudal magnates, leaders of the Catholic revival, Henry of Navarre, Catherine de’ Medici, Louis XIV, and many others. Treasure describes the Huguenots’ disciplined community, their faith and courage, their rich achievements, and their unique place within Protestantism and European history. The Huguenot exodus represented a crucial turning point in European history, Treasure contends, and he addresses the significance of the Huguenot story—the story of a minority group with the power to resist and endure in one of early modern Europe’s strongest nations. “A formidable work, covering complex, fascinating, horrifying and often paradoxical events over a period of more than 200 years…Treasure’s work is a monument to the courage and heroism of the Huguenots.”—Piers Paul Read, The Tablet
