The French Wars of Religion were a prolonged period of war and popular unrest between Roman Catholics and Huguenots (Reformed/Calvinist Protestants) in the Kingdom of France between 1562 and 1598. It is estimated that three million people perished in this period from violence, famine, or disease in what is considered the second deadliest religious war in European history (surpassed only by the Thirty Years' War, which took eight million lives).[1]
Much of the conflict took place during the long regency of Queen Catherine de' Medici, widow of Henry II of France, for her minor sons. It also involved a dynastic power struggle between powerful noble families in the line for succession to the French throne: the wealthy, ambitious, and fervently Roman Catholic ducal House of Guise (a cadet branch of the House of Lorraine, who claimed descent from Charlemagne) and their ally Anne de Montmorency, Constable of France (i.e., commander in chief of the French armed forces) versus the less wealthy House of Condé (a branch of the House of Bourbon), princes of the blood in the line of succession to the throne who were sympathetic to Calvinism. Foreign allies provided financing and other assistance to both sides, with Habsburg Spain and the Duchy of Savoy supporting the Guises, and England supporting the Protestant side led by the Condés and by the Protestant Jeanne d'Albret, wife of Antoine de Bourbon, King of Navarre, and her son, Henry of Navarre.

Explanation:
The catholic church had power over medicine and the way that it was taught to students. You were only allowed one dissection a year, and it had to be done by a professor. Drawings of the human anatomy were inaccurate and vague, as it was considered a sin to cut open a body yourself. The church only allowed certain theories of the anatomy to be taught, for example Galen. Galen once said that the human body is so complex that only God could have created it. This fit in with the catholic church, who believed this hence the work of Galen was spread throughout Europe. Galen's work was incorrect as he had to make dissections of a pig and then apply it to humans, so people were taught the wrong ideas of the human body. Even though doctors were taught everything about Galen, people still died due to incorrect treatment they were given.
By the beginning of the renaissance, the power of the catholic church was declining. Scientists started to pay grave diggers to dig up the graves of people who had dies, so they can dissect them. Realistic paintings were drawn so accurate information could be spread. The invention of the printing press meant that new information would be easy to spread to everyone. People now started to challenge Galen, which was forbidden during the middle ages, as you could be put into prison. Scientists took advantage of the freedom they have now got, they did experiments and things that were not allowed in the middle ages.
