San Bartolomé Night Massacre in Paris

Night slaughter of San Bartolomé in Paris. It was part of the French religious civil wars. Thousands of higanots met in Paris on the occasion of the wedding of Henry III, king of Navarre and Margarita de Valois. This marriage was one of the consequences of the peace pact of Protestants and Catholics, with the recognition of the participation of the Hugonotes in politics, but did not receive great recognition. They broke the Higanoten shops and killed 3,000. Hugonotes, since the 17th century, are called Protestants.
