Books Culturethèque A website dedicated to Henri the 4th, one of France greatest kingA website dedicated to Henri the 4th, one of France greatest king
A very rich website commemorates Henri the 4th of France, a key figure to understand the economic, military and cultural prowess of France during the 17th century. The country was ruined by a terrible war of religion between Catholic and Protestants when he ascended the throne of France in 1589. Himself a Protestant, he had to abjure his Calvinist faith to become France's king. Despite these troubled circumstances, Henri became one of the most popular French monarch both during and after his reign. He showed great care for the welfare of his subjects and, as a politique, displayed an unusual religious tolerance for the time. He was assassinated by a fanatical Catholic in 1610. 4 centuries later, the Archives de France commemorate his incredible achievements through this website.
