Henri IV (Henri de Navarre, Henri de Bourbon), 1553-1610, first Bourbon
king of France, was the son of Antoine de Bourbon and Jeanne d'Albret.
On her death he succeeded to the kingdom of Navarre (1572). He took
leadership of the Huguenot (Protestant) party in 1569.
His marriage in 1572 with Marguerite de Valois was the occasion for the
massacre of St. Bartholomew's Day. Henri saved his life by abjuring
Protestantism, but in 1576 he escaped from his virtual imprisonment at
court and returned to Protestantism.
When in 1584 Henri III named him heir presumptive, the Catholic League,
headed by Henri 3rd Duc de Guise refused to recognize him and persuaded
Henri III to send an army to force his conversion. In the resulting
"War of the Three Henries," Henry de Navarre defeated Henri III at
Coutras (1587) but came to the king's support in the troubles of 1588,
and after Henri III's death (1589) defeated the League forces at Arques
(1589) and Ivrey (1590); he was unable to enter Paris until 1594, after
he had abjured Protestantism -- allegedly with the remark, "Paris is
well worth a Mass." His war with Spain, the ally of the League, ended
in 1598 with the Treaty of Vervins. In 1598 he also established
religious toleration through the Edict of Nantes. With his minister
Sully he spent the rest of his reign restoring order, industry, and
trade. His slogan, "A chicken in every peasant's pot every Sunday," has
remained famous.
In 1600 he married Marie de' Medici, having had his earlier marriage
annulled. His gallantry and wit, his concern for the common people, and
his exploits with the ladies have become legendary. --Columbia-Viking
