Looking in on a Religious Massacre by Irvin S Cobb
The piece surveys the St Bartholomew Massacre through a historical lens, tracing Catherine de Medici and Charles IX as drivers of the 1572 Paris killings. It recounts the dawn attack, the spread to provinces, and eyewitness accounts from Marguerite de Valois and Duc de Sully, noting the era’s brutal religious intolerance and narrating survivor recollections.
