Henry of Navarre and the Huguenots in France is a historical book written by P.F. Willert. The book focuses on the life of Henry of Navarre, who was a prominent leader of the Huguenots, a Protestant group in France during the 16th century. The author provides a detailed account of the religious and political conflicts that took place in France during this time, including the St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre, which saw the killing of thousands of Huguenots.
