Sommario/riassunto |
|
A detailed study of the relationship between religion and politics in sixteenth-century France, as reflected through the early career of King Henri IV. This book concludes with a close analysis of Henri's conversion to Catholicism in July 1593, including the king's crisis of conscience as he struggled to secure his crown and preserve his soul. |
