Question

HURRY I WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST IF YOU ARE RIGHT AND IF YOUR ANSWER GIVE ME 100%The St. Bartholomew's day massacre was a bloody event. What provoked the event? (Site 1)

Answer 1

The attempted assassination of Coligny triggered the crisis that led to the massacre. Admiral de Coligny was the most respected Huguenot leader and enjoyed a close relationship with the king, although he was distrusted by the king's mother.

To explain the massacre, Charles, assuming responsibility for it, claimed that there had been a Huguenot plot against the crown. Instead of crippling the Huguenot party as Catherine had hoped it would do, the massacre revived hatred between Roman Catholics and Huguenots and helped provoke a renewal of hostilities.

instigated by Queen Catherine de' Medici
