The War of the Three Henrys
1585–1589 · Event
When the Huguenot Henry of Navarre becomes heir to the throne, the Catholic League under Henry of Guise takes up arms rather than accept him, and King Henry III is squeezed between them. Three Henrys, one crown: within four years two of them are murdered, and the survivor is the one Paris swore it would never accept.
