Topic: House of Guise



  
 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: House of Guise
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.
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.
Guise was now absolute master of Paris, and for some days was all-powerful.

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.
