About this book

Originally published in 1930, this is a fascinating historical biography of Henry III, who was the King of Navarre from 1572 to 1610, having inherited the throne of Navarre on the death of his mother Jeanne III on June 9, 1572. This book was written by renowned historian Henry Dwight Sedgwick.Henry III (13 December 1553 - 14 May 1610), who later became Henry IV, was the first French monarch of the House of Bourbon, a branch of the Capetian dynasty. As a Huguenot, Henry was involved in the French Wars of Religion, barely escaping assassination in the St. Bartholomew's Day massacre, and later led Protestant forces against the royal army. As Head of the House of Bourbon, Henry was a direct male-line descendant of Louis IX of France, and "first prince of the blood".
