Catherine de Medici, widow of Henry II, was practically ruler of France In spite of the fact that her weak son, Charles IX sat on the throne. She had four sons. They were all childless. Should they chance to die without direct heirs, (lie royal line of Valois would end, and the crown must pass, by succession, to their cousin, the king of Navarre. Catherine was an ardent Catholic, as were her sons and her adherents. Navarre, u little subsidiary province near ,tb Spanish frontier of France, was "the center of the Huguenot (Protes-tnnt- ) movement. The rulers of Navarre were the chiefs of the Huguenots. Hence, if the king of Navarre should Inherit the throne, France would probably become a Huguenot So Catherine cast uneasy country.eyes towards the little kingdom and began to plot measures for averting such a possibility. Jeanne d'Albret, wife of Antony de Bourbon and mother of young Henry of Navarre, was also doing some dotting. hut along wholly different lines. She was one of the noblest, best women in history. Her husband had been fela weak, dissipated, low, and all her hopes were centered In her boy. She accordingly had llenry brought up as a rigid Protestant. sought to turn his mind to high thoughts, to honor nnd personal rectitude, urged him to outdoor life and exposure to toughen and strengthen him, nnd confided his military training to the famous Admiral Coligny. .

Henry, seeing his life was In danger, renounced Protestant ism and became a Catholic. Three years Inter he escaped front Paris, where he was treated more like a prisoner than a king, and fled to Navarre, where his Huguenot adherents were awaiting him. On the way he stopped long enough to renounce Catholicism and declare himself a faithful Huguenot. For thd next few years he Indulged In as gay a life as ri's impoverished little kingdom could afford. , Meantime, on f'liarles IXs death ills younger brother, Henry III, had come to the throne of France. He was frivolous and weak.
