Henry IV, First Bourbon King

1589 CE · Fransa · political

Henry IV ascended the throne of France in 1589, becoming the first king of the Bourbon dynasty.

As a ruler of Protestant origin, his accession to the throne took place during a turbulent period in which the Wars of Religion continued, and it met with significant resistance. His later conversion to Catholicism and the steps he took to regulate religious tolerance played a decisive role in calming the country's long period of internal conflict.
