 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: House of Guise
The dukes of Guise, however, as descendants of the House of Anjou, had certain pretensions to the Kingdom of Naples, and it was doubtless with the secret intention of defending these claims that François de Lorraine furthered an alliance between Henry II and Pope Paul IV which was menaced by Philip II.
Rouen was retaken from the Protestants by Guise after a month's siege (October); the battle of Dreux, at which Montmorency was taken prison and Saint-André slain, was in the end turned by Guise to the advantage of the Catholic cause (19 December), and Condé, leader of the Huguenots, taken prisoner.
This stipulated that, at the death of Henry III, the Cardinal de Bourbon, Archbishop of Rouen (1520-90), the third son of Charles de Bourbon, Duke of Vendôme, should be recognized as heir to the crown, "to the exclusion of all French princes of the blood at present heretics and relapsed".

Their "guise" was their lackadaisical we-can't-make-is-so-let's-party attitude coupled with intensely varied originals.
Their music is a cunning combination of rock, alternative, classic rock and funk that thrives on dynamics, building tensions by raising and lowering intensity levels, then climaxing with a burst of rage.
Their song structure is paralleled only by the greats, but when all is said and done, The Buffooning Guise were tire of being asked for a "bio", so BG had some "mailroom guy" do it.
