The book explores the life of King Henry IV of France, also known as Henry of Navarre, who ruled from 1589 to 1610. Henry was a pivotal figure in the French Wars of Religion, which saw the country torn apart by religious conflict between Catholics and Protestants. The book begins with Henry's childhood and upbringing in Navarre, a small kingdom in the Pyrenees Mountains. It then follows his journey to the French court, where he became embroiled in the political and religious turmoil of the time. Despite being a Protestant, Henry was able to win the support of many Catholics, and eventually ascended to the throne as the first Bourbon king of France. Hurst's biography delves into the complex personality of Henry, who was known for his military prowess, his love of women, and his ability to navigate the treacherous waters of French politics. The book also explores the broader historical context of Henry's reign, including the role of the monarchy in the early modern period, the rise of absolutism, and the impact of the French Wars of Religion on European history. Overall, Henry of Navarre is a comprehensive and engaging biography that sheds new light on one of the most fascinating figures in French history. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the politics, religion, and culture of early modern Europe.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
