Religious Conflict
  • In the 1500s, many French nobles were Protestant
    Huguenots (more than 1/3).
  • Many of the French monarchs (King Francis I and
    King Henry II) were Roman Catholics and they
    would sometimes burn the Protestants at the stake
    (for heresy).
  • From 1560-1600, there were 9 civil wars in France
    over which would be more powerful.
  • At one point, Henry II and Charles IX ordered a
    massacre (of thousands) of Huguenots.
  • This is known as the Saint Bartholomew's day
    Massacre after the day it started.
  • One of the main Huguenot leaders (Henry of
    Navarre) only survived by renouncing his
    protestant religion.

Henry IV and Cardinal Richelieu
  • This all led to even more war.
  • The Spanish came to help the Roman Catholics.
  • This bothered many small Protestant towns.
  • Both sides eventually realized they should get
    along and they stopped fighting.
  • Their new leader was Henry of Navarre who
    became a Protestant again.
  • When Henry III was assassinated, Henry of Navarre
    became the next king of France (as Henry IV).

  • Henry IV was going to re-unify the country (even
    though it was about 1/3 Huguenot and 2/3 Roman
    Catholic).
  • He rejected his Protestant faith (yes, again),
    became Roman catholic, and begged the Pope for
    forgiveness.
  • He issued the Edict of Nantes which encouraged
    religious tolerance in France.
  • In 1619, he was succeeded by his son.
  • But because his son (Louis XIII) was just 9 years
    old, the chief minister of France (Cardinal
    Richelieu) managed the country for a while.
  • Since he was Roman Catholic, he changed the Edict
    of Nantes.
  • He also put the power of France back into the
    hands of a single person a monarch (the King)

Louis XIV The Sun KingThe Great Monarch
  • When Louis XIII died, his son was just 5.
  • Same thing again a Cardinal took over for a
    while, but when he died, Louis XIV did take over
    (at 23).
  • Just like his grandfather (Henry IV), he believed
    in absolute monarchy (all power comes from God
    and Kings are Gods representatives on earth).
  • Louis XIV believed in peace at home and war
    abroad quadrupling the size of his army (which
    cost a lot of money).
  • Louis XIV also cancelled the Edict of Nantes
    and many Protestants left the country so they
    wouldnt have to become Catholics.

A Grand Palace
  • Louis XIV built a new palace at Versailles
    (about 10 miles outside Paris).
  • Versailles had hundreds of rooms filled with
    tapestries, chandeliers, dazzling mirrors,
    gardens, fountains, elaborate landscaping, marble
    statues, etc
  • This was more than a residence it was a symbol
    of the monarchy of France
  • Louis XIV was even described as the Sun King.
  • Another part of Versailles everything was done
    with great ceremony (as in the on page 394).

    things that had to do with power and the balance
    of power.

    so they fought for it.

The Legacy of Louis XIV
  • Louis XIV unified France.
  • He made France a great power.
  • He expanded French culture even beyond Europe.
  • His projects (Versailles) and his wars cost a lot
    of money.
  • This money came from taxpayers, who were becoming
    very poor and angry (often on the edge of
    starvation).
  • He was King of France for 72 years so long that
    when he died, his great grandson (5 years old
    though) inherited the throne (longest reigning
    monarch in European history).
