St Bartholomew’s Day Massacre

The actual start of the massacre all began in Paris, France in 1572 with King Charles IX of France’s mother who ultimately lead her own son to order kills that set off a riot of the killings of 20,000 Huguenot protestants in France. (Huguenot Protestants were french people whom of which followed the western churches such as, Baptism, Lutheran, and Presbyterian.) Catherine de Medici, Charles controlling mother, felt to take matters into her own hands and with the help of some noblemen, and priest, order the assassination of Admiral Gaspard de Coligny, who was a nobleman and a Huguenot leader. Along with her hate towards Huguenots behind the act she also felt the Admiral was not correctly leading her son down the right path of ruling, specifically into an unwanted war. So two days before August 24th of 1572 the order was taken out, but Admiral Coligny was only badly wounded by the failed attempt, and as imagined this angered the Huguenots and to calm that anger Charles agreed to look into the #|situation and hopefully bring peace back. Though Catherine was able to convince Charles that the Huguenots were conspiring a rebellion that was supposedly drawing #|close, to which is when King Charles approved the assassinations of a list of Catholic leaders, with Admiral Coligny topping that list. As an official start of the killings on the dawn of August 24th, 1572 Admiral Coligny was brutally beaten and thrown from his window, this time resulting in his death positively. Throughout the first next couple killings off the list Catholic Parisians began to realize what was happening and then proceeded to make their own general massacre, at this point Charles realized the risky state of this situation and a royal order for the killings to stop was set, but they didn't. Instead these killing continued into the month of October resulting in many lives lost in France, and about 3,000 in Paris alone.

Digging deeper into this horrific massacre, we can look back onto the date of August 18th of 1572 for the possible final trigger of Catherine's anger. On that day many French Protestants gathered in Paris for the wedding of a Protestants prince, Henry of Navarre, and King Charles sister, Marguerite of Valois. As King Charles allegedly began to become friendlier with the Huguenots and Coligny at the same time, making Catherine even more nervous than she allowed was for the future of the throne. This was giving, in Catherine’s eyes, a closer step towards the throne for the Protestants. Seeing this Catherine then the order for Admiral Coligny (first and failed) assassination four days later on August 22.

As a result French Protestants mourned over their lost ones, and this event spiked a rise in resistance towards the Catholic authorities through word of mouth literature, and even through politics  As a result French Protestants mourned over their lost ones, and this #|event spiked a rise in resistance towards the Catholic authorities through word of mouth literature, and even through politics.
