Henry IV of France and the Edict of Nantes
The narrative follows Henry IV’s ascent to the French throne, his Catholic conversion under pressure, and the temporary division it caused. It notes his passage to power via Chartres 1594, the Nantes edict to appease Catholics and Protestants, and the nobles’ lingering discontent leading to Biron’s execution as resistance mounted.
