France Monarchs

  • Henry IV

    Henry IV
    He died in 1610 and his rein ended then
    1. He established the Edict of Nantes
    2. He ended the war over religion
    3. He caused the St. Bartholomew Massacre.
    4. He killed off anyone who was a threat to his throne
    Henry deserves a C. He may have given people freedom and ended a war. But, he also started wars and killed off random people. That means half the stuff he did was wrong.
