| Â | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: House of Guise |
 | | Speeches were made, some aristocratic in sentiment, others democratic, but all against royal absolutism; and Guise was thenceforth the leader, not only of a religious, but also of a political movement. | | | 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. | | | Guise was about to take Orléans from the Huguenots when (18 February, 1563) he was wounded by the Protestant Poltrot de Méré, and died six days later. |

| | There were Catholics who resented this interferance by the pope in the internal affairs of France, but there were others who viewed it as a sanction to seize the throne of France. | | | Navarre and Condé entrenched in the south and went looking for foreign aid from the German princes and Queen Elizabeth. | | | Guise revived the Catholic League with the goal of preventing any heretic from coming the throne. |

| | Duke of Alba under house arrest; Duke of Guise recalled from Naples; Habsburg-Valois War ends; Guise murdered. | | | The Guise faction, who had played a major part in carrying out the murder of Coligny, took this as an opportunity for obtaining further control in France's political affairs. | | | It was a period in French history especially noted for the struggle between Catholics and Huguenots, and the rivalry which broke out between the Guises and the Bourbons in their struggle to fill the power vacuum caused by the weakness of the throne. |

| Â | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: The League |
| | The combination of these two movements — the aristocratic and the popular — resulted in the manifesto of 30 March, 1585, launched from Péronne by Guise and the princes amounting to a sort of declaration of war against Henry III. | | | Madame le Montpensier, a sister of the Guises, boasted that she ruled the famous preachers of the League, the "Satire Ménippée" presently turned them to ridicule, while in their turn the Leaguers from the pulpits of Paris attacked not only Henry of Bourbon, but the acts, the morals, and the orthodoxy of of Henry III. | | | On the one hand, the Dukes of Guise, Mayenne, and Nevers and Baron de Senecey met at Nancy to renew the League, with the object of securing the recognition, as heir to the throne, of the Cardinal de Bourbon, who would extirpate heresy and receive the Council of Trent in France. |

| | The Catholics, led by the ambitious Guise family, eventually formed the Catholic League and obtained Spanish support against the Protestant Henry of Navarre, the legal heir of Henry III. | | | Navarre was supported by some moderate Catholics as well as by the Protestants. | | | Since 1972 France has been administratively divided into 22 regions, many of which correspond to the nation’s historical provinces. |

| | The Guises, first rivals with the queen-mother and then in alliance with her, conducted all affairs of state and surpassed in influence their opponents, the Catholic constable Montmorency, and his nephews, the three Châtillon brothers: Gaspard the Admiral de Coligny, François d'Andelot, and Cardinal Châtillon, later leaders of the Huguenots. | | | Finding no support against the League, he had Henri duc de Guise and his brother Louis Cardinal de Lorraine assassinated (Dec. 23, 1588). | | | Guise entered Paris, was received with acclamation (King of Paris); the resistance of the king was broken by a popular insurrection. |

| | In other words, there is a strong possibility that Pierre Beaupuis was admitted to the service of Marie de Lorraine not only because of his outstanding vocal talents but because his family had "belonged" to the Guises for generations. | | | That his bass voice does not appear in Charpentier's "French" (Guise) notebooks until early 1676 can doubtlessly be explained by the renewed and profound mourning that followed the death of Mme de Guise's little son in March 1675. | | | Only a month after Mlle de Guise's death, Colbert, the coadjutor for the arcbishopric of Rouen, wrote Roger de Gaignières to see whether he could purchase any of the fabled furnishings of the Hôtel de Guise prior to the start of the public auction. |
