Henri IV of France
Author: Vincent J. Pitts
Publisher: JHU Press
ISBN: 0801890276
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 516
Book Description
Vincent J. Pitts chronicles the life and times of one of France’s most remarkable kings in the first English-language biography of Henri IV to be published in twenty-five years. An unwelcome heir to the throne, Henri ruled over a kingdom plagued by religious civil war and political and economic instability. By the end of his reign in 1610 he had pacified his warring country, restored its prosperity, and reclaimed France’s place as a leading power in Europe. Pitts draws upon the rich scholarship of recent decades to tell the captivating story of this pivotal French king. From boyhood, Henri was destined to be leader and protector of the Huguenot movement in France. He served as chief of the Calvinist party and fought for the Huguenot forces in the bloody Wars of Religion before an extraordinary sequence of dynastic mishaps left the Protestant warlord next in line for the French crown. Henri was forced to renounce his faith in support of his claim to the Catholic throne and to unite his deeply divided country. A master of political maneuvering, Henri restored order to a country in the throes of great religious, political, and economic upheaval. He was assassinated in 1610 by a Catholic zealot. Vincent Pitts expertly recounts this history and skillfully untangles its complex set of personalities and events. Pitts engages the vast amount of literature relating to the king himself as well as the large body of recent scholarship on France during this time. The result is a fascinating biography of a French king and a comprehensive history of sixteenth-century France.

Henri IV
Author: Grégory Champeaud
Publisher: Editions Ellipses
ISBN: 2340079993
Category : History
Languages : fr
Pages : 208
Book Description
Vert-galant, panache blanc, « Paris vaut bien une messe », édit de Nantes, poule au pot… Henri IV (1553-1610) a laissé une trace saillante dans la mémoire des Français. Sa vie de légende et la légende de sa vie se confondent désormais en un mythe vivace et rassembleur. Tour à tour catholique et protestant, guerrier et pacificateur, reconstructeur et bâtisseur, enjôleur et séducteur, Béarnais et Gascon mais aussi terriblement Français, Henri IV, le roi-martyr de la rue de la Ferronnerie, demeure aujourd’hui encore le roi préféré des Français. Il est devenu une figure familière et débonnaire, presque un contemporain. Si sa personnalité kaléidoscopique faite d’ombres et de lumières, et son œuvre foisonnante expliquent en partie ce souvenir, c’est plus sûrement à la vaste entreprise de mythification, initiée de son vivant et consolidée au cours des siècles, que l’on doit sa pérennisation. Roi manipulateur, Henri IV a été à son tour manipulé par tous les régimes politiques depuis sa mort. À chaque époque, une strate supplémentaire s’est ajoutée au vernis légendaire et mythique. De cette dialectique où le mythe semble répondre à la légende, émerge en filigrane l’image d’Henri IV qui perdure aujourd’hui encore. Homme et souverain au destin unique, véritable héros tombant à point nommé pour relever une France qui semble alors à terre, Henri IV a toutes les qualités pour des sujets ou des citoyens en mal de figures tutélaires. C’est le portrait de cet homme singulier, tout autant que les traces encore visibles de son héritage mythique, que l’auteur se propose ici de dresser. Grégory Champeaud, docteur en histoire moderne de l’université Bordeaux-Montaigne, enseigne à Sciences Po Bordeaux. Ses travaux portent plus particulièrement sur l’histoire des guerres civiles et de la pacification dans la France de la seconde moitié du XVIe siècle. Préface d’Anne-Marie Cocula-Vaillières
