Henry de Bourbon, the Huguenot King of Navarre, marries Margaret
of Valois, sister of Charles IX of France. This marriage was
intended to effect a reconciliation between Protestants and
Catholics, but it singularly failed to do so, since the wedding was
followed in Paris by a massacre of thousands of Huguenots, known as
the St Bartholemew's Day Massacre.
