	Henry I, Duke of Guise - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Henry, 3rd Duke of Guise (January 31, 1550 – December 23, 1588, Château de Blois), sometimes called Le Balafré, "the scarred", was the son of Francis, Duke of Guise.
		The talent and dash of Guise contrasted favorably with the vacillation and weakness of Henry III, and he was said to have claimed a Carolingian descent and cast eyes on the throne.
		This led to the stage of the Wars of Religion known as the War of the Three Henries.

		Henri IV brought the war out of the south and into the north, which he knew was critical if he wanted to be king of France and not just king in Gascony.
		Henri laid siege to Paris in the spring and summer of 1590.
		At this point, Henri IV made his "perilous leap" and abjured his faith in July 1593, in the church of St. Denis, reputedly with the famous witticism that "Paris is worth a mass." A coronation was arranged for him at Chartres, rather than at the traditional Reims, which was in the hands of the League.

	House of Guise - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The death of the heir-presumptive, the Duc d'Anjou, in 1584, which made the protestant King Henry of Navarre heir to the French throne, led to a new civil war, the War of the Three Henries, with King Henry III, Henry of Navarre, and Henry of Guise all fighting for control of France.
		After an apparent conciliation, in December of 1588 King Henri III had both the Duke of Guise and his brother, Louis de Lorraine, Cardinal of Guise (1555–1588), murdered during a meeting in the Royal Chateau at Blois.
		His nephew, the young Duke of Guise, was proposed by the Catholic League as a candidate for the throne, possibly through a marriage to Philip II of Spain's daughter Isabella, the granddaughter of Henry II of France.
