Charles, IX King of France
M, #23254, b. 27 June 1550, d. 30 May 1574
Biography
- Charles, IX King of France, was born on 27 June 1550 in Saint-Germain-en-Laye, France.
- He died on 30 May 1574 at age 23 at Château De Vincennes in Vincennes, Val-de-Marne, Île-de-France, France.
- He was buried in 1574 in St-Denis, Seine-St-Denis, Île-de-France, France.
- Charles IX (Charles Maximilien; 27 June 1550 – 30 May 1574) was King of France from 1560 until his death in 1574 from tuberculosis. He ascended the throne of France upon the death of his brother Francis II in 1560.
After decades of tension, war broke out between Protestants and Catholics after the massacre of Vassy in 1562. In 1572, after several unsuccessful peace attempts, Charles ordered the marriage of his sister Margaret of Valois to Henry of Navarre (the future King Henry IV of France), a major Protestant nobleman in the line of succession to the French throne, in a last desperate bid to reconcile his people. Facing popular hostility against this policy of appeasement, Charles allowed the massacre of all Huguenot leaders who gathered in Paris for the royal wedding at the instigation of his mother Catherine de' Medici. This event, the St. Bartholomew's Day massacre, was a significant blow to the Huguenot movement, though religious civil warfare soon began anew. Charles sought to take advantage of the disarray of the Huguenots by ordering the siege of La Rochelle, but was unable to take the Protestant stronghold.
All his decisions were influenced by his mother, a fervent Roman Catholic who initially sought peace between Catholics and Protestants but after the St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre supported the persecution of Huguenots.
Charles died of tuberculosis in 1574, without legitimate male issue, and was succeeded by his brother Henry III. - Charles, IX King of France, held the title of King of France from 5 December 1560 to 30 May 1574.
- He was crowned on 15 May 1561.
- He is/was my 16th cousin 11x removed

Henri, III King of France
M, #23255, b. 19 September 1551, d. 2 August 1589
Biography
- Henri, III King of France, was born on 19 September 1551 in Fontainebleau, Seine-et-Marne, France.
- He died (Murdered) on 2 August 1589 at age 37 in Saint-Cloud, Hauts-de-Seine, Île-de-France, France.
- He was buried on 5 August 1589 in St-Denis, Seine-St-Denis, Île-de-France, France.
- Henri, III King of France, was also known as Henry, III King of France.
- He was also known as Henri de Valois.
- Henry III (French: Henri III, né Alexandre Édouard; Polish: Henryk Walezy; Lithuanian: Henrikas Valua; 19 September 1551 – 2 August 1589) was King of France from 1574 until his death in 1589, as well as King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania from 1573 to 1575.
As the fourth son of King Henry II of France, he was not expected to inherit the French throne and thus was a good candidate for the vacant throne of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, where he was elected monarch in 1573. During his brief rule, he signed the Henrician Articles into law, recognizing the Polish nobility's right to freely elect their monarch. Aged 22, Henry abandoned Poland upon inheriting the French throne when his brother, Charles IX, died without issue.
France was at the time plagued by the Wars of Religion, and Henry's authority was undermined by violent political factions funded by foreign powers: the Catholic League (supported by Spain and the Pope), the Protestant Huguenots (supported by England and the Dutch) and the Malcontents (led by Henry's own brother the Duke of Anjou and Alençon, a party of Catholic and Protestant aristocrats who jointly opposed the absolutist ambitions of the king). Henry III was himself a politique, arguing that a strong and religiously tolerant monarchy would save France from collapse.
After the death of Henry's younger brother Francis, Duke of Anjou, and when it became apparent that Henry would not produce an heir, the Wars of Religion developed into a succession crisis, the War of the Three Henrys. Henry III's legitimate heir was his distant cousin, King Henry III of Navarre, a Protestant. The Catholic League, led by Henry I, Duke of Guise, sought to exclude Protestants from the succession and championed the Catholic Charles, Cardinal of Bourbon, as Henry III's heir.
In 1589, Jacques Clément, a Catholic fanatic, murdered Henry III. He was succeeded by the King of Navarre who, as Henry IV, assumed the throne of France after converting to Catholicism, as the first French king of the House of Bourbon. - He was christened on 5 December 1551 in Fontainebleau, Seine-et-Marne, France.
- He held the title of King of Poland from 16 May 1573 to 12 May 1575.
- He held the title of Grand Duke of Lithuania from 16 May 1573 to 12 May 1575.
- He held the title of King of France from 30 May 1574 to 2 August 1589.
- He was crowned on 13 February 1575 in Reims, Marne, Champagne-Ardenne, France.

Biography
- Henri, IV King of France and Navarre, was born on 13 December 1553 in Pau, Pyrénées-Atlantiques, Aquitaine, France.
- He and Margaret de Valois were married on 18 August 1572 in Paris, Ile-de-France, France.
- He and Margaret de Valois had their marriage annulled in 1599.
- He and Maria de Medici were married on 5 October 1600 in Florence, Toscana, Italy.
- He died on 14 May 1610 at age 56 in Paris, Ile-de-France, France.
- He was buried on 1 July 1610 in St-Denis, Seine-St-Denis, Île-de-France, France.
- Henri, IV King of France and Navarre, was also known as Henry, IV King of France and Navarre.
- Henry IV (French: Henri IV; 13 December 1553 – 14 May 1610), also known by the epithet Good King Henry or Henry the Great, was King of Navarre (as Henry III) from 1572 and King of France from 1589 to 1610. He was the first monarch of France from the House of Bourbon, a cadet branch of the Capetian dynasty. He was assassinated in 1610 by François Ravaillac, a Catholic zealot, and was succeeded by his son Louis XIII.
The son of Antoine de Bourbon, Duke of Vendôme and Jeanne d'Albret, the Queen of Navarre, Henry was baptised as a Catholic but raised in the Protestant faith by his mother. He inherited the throne of Navarre in 1572 on his mother's death. As a Huguenot, Henry was involved in the French Wars of Religion, barely escaping assassination in the St. Bartholomew's Day massacre. He later led Protestant forces against the royal army.
Henry and his predecessor Henry III of France were direct descendants of King Louis IX. Henry III belonged to the House of Valois, descended from Philip III of France, elder son of Saint Louis; Henry IV belonged to the House of Bourbon, descended from Robert, Count of Clermont, younger son of Saint Louis. As Head of the House of Bourbon, Henry was "first prince of the blood". Upon the death of his brother-in-law and distant cousin Henry III in 1589, Henry was called to the French succession by the Salic law.
He initially kept the Protestant faith (the only French king to do so) and had to fight against the Catholic League, which denied that he could wear France's crown as a Protestant. After four years of stalemate, he converted to Catholicism to obtain mastery over his kingdom (reportedly saying, "Paris is well worth a mass"). As a pragmatic politician (in the parlance of the time, a politique), he promulgated the Edict of Nantes (1598), which guaranteed religious liberties to Protestants, thereby effectively ending the French Wars of Religion.
An active ruler, Henry worked to regularise state finance, promote agriculture, eliminate corruption and encourage education. During his reign, the French colonization of the Americas truly began with the foundation of the colonies of Acadia and Canada at Port-Royal and Quebec, respectively. He is celebrated in the popular song "Vive le roi Henri" (which later became an anthem for the French monarchy during the reigns of his successors) and in Voltaire's Henriade. - He was christened on 6 May 1554 in France.
- He held the title of King of Navarre from 9 June 1572 to 14 May 1610.
- He held the title of King of France from 2 August 1589 to 14 May 1610.
- He was crowned on 27 February 1594 at Chartres Cathedral in Chantres, Dordogne, France.

- Louis XIII (sometimes called the Just; 27 September 1601 – 14 May 1643) was King of France from 1610 until his death in 1643 and King of Navarre (as Louis II) from 1610 to 1620, when the crown of Navarre was merged with the French crown.
Shortly before his ninth birthday, Louis became king of France and Navarre after his father Henry IV was assassinated. His mother, Marie de' Medici, acted as regent during his minority. Mismanagement of the kingdom and ceaseless political intrigues by Marie and her Italian favourites led the young king to take power in 1617 by exiling his mother and executing her followers, including Concino Concini, the most influential Italian at the French court.
Louis XIII, taciturn and suspicious, relied heavily on his chief ministers, first Charles d'Albert, duc de Luynes and then Cardinal Richelieu, to govern the Kingdom of France. The King and the Cardinal are remembered for establishing the Académie française, and ending the revolt of the French nobility. They systematically destroyed the castles of defiant lords, and denounced the use of private violence (dueling, carrying weapons, and maintaining private armies). By the end of the 1620s, Richelieu had established "the royal monopoly of force" as the ruling doctrine.[1] His reign was also marked by the struggles against the Huguenots and Habsburg Spain. - Louis, XIII King of France, held the title of King of France from 14 May 1610 to 14 May 1643.
- He was crowned on 17 October 1610 at Reims Catherderal in Reims, Marne, Champagne-Ardenne, France.
