A study of the French religious wars which took place between 1562 and 1598. It provides a portrait of the realities of civil war as seen through the eyes of those who participated. It also covers the developments in artillery, fortification and portable firearms that characterized the period.
The eight French Wars of Religion began in 1562 and lasted for 36 years. Although the wars were fought between Catholics and Protestants, this books draws out in full the equally important struggle for power between the king and the leading nobles, and the rivalry between the nobles themselves as they vied for control of the king. In a time when human life counted for little, the destruction reached its height in the St Bartholomew''s Day Massacre when up to 10,000 Protestants lost their lives.
