Answer:

False

Explanation:

The St. Bartholomew's Day massacre in 1572 is considered to be a mass assassination and mob violence on the Huguenots, also called French Calvinist Protestants during what was regarded as the French Wars of Religion. There was a belief that the Queen Catherine de Medici was behind the king's order to kill Huguenot leaders, Coligny, and the slaughters that spread across Paris. Good king Henry of Navarre did not did not die in the St. Bartholomew's Day massacre and the massacre happened in 1572 not 1672.
