Plot

France in 1563. Calvinist Protestantism has arrived in France. But the Catholic reaction is not long in coming and the small but steadily growing Protestant population is suppressed in French society. However, the Huguenots, particularly in the south of France and in the small kingdom of Navarre near Spain, resisted. Katharina de Medici, the actual ruler of France, wants to counter this. Her two sons, Charles IX. and D’Anjou show weakness in this fight and Henri, the young Prince of Navarre, vital strength. Katharina de Medici has to give in and makes Henri an offer of peace, which he, tired of fighting, accepts. This peace also means that Henri Margot, the daughter of the Medicis, married in Paris. But even during the wedding celebrations, the Catholics strike: They cause a bloodbath among the Protestant wedding guests who have traveled. About 20,000 Huguenots die on this Bartholomew Night.
