HenryIV(Henry of Navarre) (1553–1610)
View through CrossRef
AbstractFrench ruler and commander. Born at Pau in Béarn (December 13, 1553), he was the son of Antoine de Bourbon, head of the House of Bourbon, a cadet branch of the French royal family, and Jeanne d'Albret, daughter of Marguerite d'Angoulême, Francis I's sister, and Henri d'Albret, king of Navarre (r. 1517–1555). At birth Henry stood sixth in line of succession to the French throne. Henry was baptized Catholic, but his mother, who converted to Calvinism, raised him a Huguenot, as French Protestants were known. Too young to be active in the early French religious wars that began in 1562, he was betrothed to Charles IX's sister Marguerite in 1570 in hope of reconciling the two religions. Henry's presence in Paris for his wedding in August 1572 with numerous Huguenot nobles set the stage for the St. Bartholomew's Massacre, in which many Protestant leaders were killed. Henry avoided death by becoming Catholic but remained confined at court until 1576, when he escaped and returned to Protestantism.
