Thanks Sunken Civ for the Ping.
He was a Protestant turned Catholic. Nostradamus predicted his death on the jousting field, writing he would have his eye pierced by a lance in La Place des Vosges.
Henri IV, le Vert Gallant, is a very important & fascinating figure in French history, born Henri dr Navarre, a Protestant, he famously said Paris vaut une messe”
Translation: Paris is worth a mass, & converted to Catholicism as he entered Paris to marry Marguerite, later-immortalized in the great film, La Reine Margot with Isabelle Adjani. This marriage put an end to religious strife in France, & brought about a period of religious tolerance &
prosperity.
His equestrian statue on the tip of Ile de la Cite is a beloved Paris landmark. If you have pics, please post. Can’t do it from iPhone.
