St Bartholomew's Day Massacre
Slaughter of Huguenots (Protestants) in Paris, 24 August–17 September 1572, and until 3 October in the provinces. About 25,000 people are believed to have been killed. When Catherine de' Medici's plot to have Admiral Coligny assassinated failed, she resolved to have all the Huguenot leaders killed, persuading her son Charles IX it was in the interest of public safety.
Catherine received congratulations from all the Catholic powers, and the pope ordered a medal to be struck.
