St Bartholomew’s Day Massacre

(23-24 August, 1572)

This massacre, being of this character, is one of those debatable points of history on which a large latitude of opinion must be allowed to everyone. Therefore, without censuring any person for a contrary judgement, the present Author submits to his Readers that view of the subject, which he considers to represent the real circumstances of the transaction, in the form of the following propositions:

That the massacre was no premeditated act of Charles IX, though finally ordered by him; but that it was planned by others, and suddenly urged upon him with false or deceiving communications, and with circumstances of great personal alarm, which hurried his frightened mind into the measure. That Guise began the execution, and that the Romish and Spanish party in Paris extended and completed it; and that the same party continuing their machinations to inflame and pervert the king’s mind, it was also perpetrated afterwards in various parts of France.
