The Wars of Religion in France 1559-1576
The Huguenots, Catherine de Medici and Philip II
The Wars of Religion in France, published in 1909 by James Westfall Thompson of the University of Chicago, covers the years from the death of Henry II in 1559 to the formation of the Catholic League in 1576. Under the subtitle The Huguenots, Catherine de Medici and Philip II, Thompson treats the conflict as a struggle of factions, finances and foreign powers as much as of faiths, giving close attention to Spanish intervention and to the economic distress that fed the fighting. He follows the conspiracy of Amboise, the first civil wars, the Saint Bartholomew's Day massacre and its aftermath, and prints thirty-seven appendices of documents from the archives. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
