960historical_info = french_wars_religion.9.historical_info In August 1572, the St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre unfolded when violence erupted in Paris following the wedding of Protestant Henry of Navarre to Catholic Marguerite de Valois. Initially seen as a peace effort, the marriage triggered fear among Catholic leaders that Huguenot influence was growing. In a swift and brutal response, prominent Huguenots were assassinated, and mobs turned on Protestants across the city. What began as targeted killings quickly spread throughout France, leaving thousands dead. The massacre inflamed religious tensions, prolonging the French Wars of Religion.
