Excerpt from Histoire de France Depuis l'Établissement des Franks dans la Gaule Jusqu'à Nos Jours, Vol. 4
Les calvinistes regardèrent d' abord comme un avantage la mort de François dont ils éprouvaient la sévérité depuis bien des années; mais Henri II ne tarda point à prouver qu'il était aussi zélé catholique que son père: son règne fut même l'époque des arrêts formidables et des grandes exécutions contre les sectaires 9.
