Dates that Made History - 1610, The Assassination Of Henry Iv

Synopsis

The assassination of Henri IV, peacemaking and reformist king, is as much a canonical scene in the History of France as it is a decisive break in political modernity. And first of all because it is a newsworthy event with an almost global dimension. We know that its spread to the "four corners of the world " is an indication of an open, if not connected, world.
Ravaillac was a former valet radicalized by Catholic mysticism. His gesture could be seen as the last embers of the Wars of Religion that followed the emergence of Protestantism; but it was also an expression of powerlessness in the face of a highly contested royal figure.
