Types: Wartime Sexual Violence: »The French Wars of Religion refers to the period of civil war between French Catholics and Protestants (called Huguenots) from 1562 to 1598. Between two and four million people died from violence, famine or disease directly caused by the conflict, and it severely damaged the power of the French monarchy. One of its most notorious episodes was the St. Bartholomew's Day massacre in 1572. The fighting ended with a compromise in 1598, when Henry of Navarre, who had converted to Catholicism in 1593, was proclaimed King Henry IV of France and issued the Edict of Nantes, which granted substantial rights and freedoms to the Huguenots.« -- More information: Wikipedia Types: General: Trials | Cases: Real Offenders: Mathurin de La Cange; Real Victims: Barbe Gaultier | Types: General: Rape [Info] Hamilton, Tom.
