Excerpt from The Religious Question in France: In the Light of Historic Facts and of Current Events
Under Henry II., son of Francis and husband Of Catherine, the work of extermination went on apace. It was now that the Guises - Francis, the soldier, and Charles, the prelate - came to the front, but for whom, says Mezeray, the new religion would perhaps have become dominant in France. Even Catherine had seasons of slackness in her persecuting zeal; but these Popish leaders never had. Yet, in spite of all Opposition, the Protestant community grew in numbers and in confidence daily. It found its adherents in all classes of society. Margaret of Valois had been succeeded by her yet more accomplished and resolute and devoted daughter.
