Â CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Saint Bartholomew's Day Massacre

A little before daybreak the sound ofb> a pistol-shot so terrified Charles IX and his mother that, in a moment ofb> remorse, they despatched a nobleman to Guise to bid him refrain from any attack on the admiral, but the order came too late; Coligny had already been slain.
But just at that moment Charles had but one idea, which was to find and punish Henry ofb> Guise, whom he suspected ofb> being the instigator if not the perpetrator ofb> the attempt on Coligny's life.
They were beaten (11 July, 1572) and the Dukeb> ofb> Alba, having ascertained that Charles IX was instrumental in the attempt to defeat him, thenceforth entertained the most hostile feeling toward the French King.

This stipulated that, at the death ofb> Henry III, the Cardinal de Bourbon, Archbishop ofb> Rouen (1520-90), the third son ofb> Charles de Bourbon, Dukeb> ofb> Vendôme, should be recognized as heir to the crown, "to the exclusion ofb> all French princes ofb> the blood at present heretics and relapsed".
But the sick and aged prelate was a prisoner ofb> Henry ofb> Navarre; the members ofb> the League were therefore unable to place their candidate securely upon the throne, since he was in the hands ofb> the Protestant pretender.
