	[No title]
		Henri II., who succeeded in 1547, "had all the faults of his father, with a weaker mind;" and as strength of mind was not one of the characteristics of Francois I., we may imagine how little firmness there was in the gloomy King who now reigned.
		Henri II., with his ancient mistress, Diane de Poitiers, were at the head of one party, that of the strict Catholics, and were supported by old Anne de Montmorency, most unlucky of soldiers, most fanatical of Catholics, and by the Guises, who chafed a good deal under the stern rule of the Constable.
		Henri temporised; his true strength, for the time, lay in his Huguenot followers, rugged and faithful fighting men, whose belief was the motive power of their allegiance and of their courage.

		Keith C. Cameron, “Suetonius, Henri de Valois, and the Art of Political Biography,” IJCT 2 (1995-1996), pp.
		During the closing years of his reign Henri II was the object of a sustained and bitter polemical attack from his adversaries, especially those who supported the League and Guise family.
		This article examines briefly the nature of the biography as a form of history in sixteenth-century France, replaces the biographies in their polemical context and examines the possibility of their having been written by authors from the English College in Rheims or by persons who had a similar training.

	Sebastian Castellio
		De Bèze, close collaborator of Calvin and later his successor, who was teaching at Lausanne, recognized Basel under the Magdeburg cover and suspected it was Castellio who wrote under the alias of Bellius.
		De Bèze felt that Servetus was "of all men that have ever lived the most wicked and blasphemous," and those who condemned his death were "emissaries of Satan." The burning of a heretic he compared to the killing of a wolf.
		After the death of Henri II in 1559, the government of France showed some tendency toward reconciliation, but from the time of the regency of Catherine de Médécis who was influenced by the chancellor, Michel de l'Hopital, France entered a period of a fraternal religious war.
