Â CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: The League

The combination ofb> these two movements — the aristocratic and the popular — resulted in the manifesto ofb> 30 March, 1585, launched from Péronne by Guise and the princes amounting to a sort ofb> declaration ofb> war against Henryb> III.
Madame le Montpensier, a sister ofb> the Guises, boasted that she ruled the famous preachers ofb> the League, the "Satire Ménippée" presently turned them to ridicule, while in their turn the Leaguers from the pulpits ofb> Paris attacked not only Henryb> ofb> Bourbon, but the acts, the morals, and the orthodoxy ofb> of Henryb> III.
But when the Peace ofb> Bergerac (17 September, 1577) between Henryb> III and the Protestants, curtailed the liberties accorded them by the Edict ofb> Beaulieu, the king hastened to dissolve the League ofb> Péronne and the other Catholic leagues formed after its example.

Â CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: House ofb> Guise

The dukes ofb> Guise, however, as descendants ofb> the House ofb> Anjou, had certain pretensions to the Kingdom ofb> Naples, and it was doubtless with the secret intention ofb> defending these claims that François de Lorraine furthered an alliance between Henryb> II and Pope Paul IV which was menaced by Philip II.
Speeches were made, some aristocratic in sentiment, others democratic, but all against royal absolutism; and Guise was thenceforth the leader, not only ofb> a religious, but also ofb> a political movement.
Guise was now absolute master ofb> Paris, and for some days was all-powerful.
