This channel saved my bacon, I have to write an essay by friday on the growth of Calvinism in the second half of the 16th century so this and your John Calvin video have been very helpful as general overviews. Thanks for taking the time to make them!
Tom! A thank you AND a tip for your future classes. My 1st semester exam is this week and your videos are AMAZING. This is only my teachers second year teaching European History, so he isn't as fluent as some. You can definitely explain things with greater depth than he. I'm forever indebted to your youtube channel and yourself. Also "Valois" is pronounced "Val-waa"
Your videos are so helpful!!! Thank you so much! I have an exam on my AP class tomorrow and this helped me understand!!!! THANK YOU and keep on the great work!
I was looking for film footage of the war of religion and your video was the first to come up. Dude your video are really well rated :). PS: it is not pronounced valoy but valwah
Hi guys, I am French and not long ago I've resumed my studies (actually starting a bachelor's degree in English language though I'm 34, everybody should be able to retrain) Tom, I really appreciate your lectures so I wanted to thank you. Regarding the French Wars of Religion I advise you some excellent readings (historical novels) about that period : Queen Margot by Alexandre Dumas www.goodreads.com/book/show/153875.Queen_Margot_or_Marguerite_de_Valois#other_reviews A chronicle of Charles IX www.goodreads.com/book/show/18395173-the-chronicles-of-charles-ix#other_reviews To remember how violent were those events one may quote Dumas's words in his novel ; " Le sang courait de tous côtés cherchant la rivière " = " Blood was running from everywhere looking for the river "
Im French, its very cool to heard an american guy who speak about our religious history ! French huguenots and calvinists were very influent in France and gave to us some liberty rights and they gave a lot to a part of american protestantism but sometimes, they were not admitted because badly, some of them in france becames violents with a spirit of revenge ... and some catholics too. We can notify that, our huguenots are like the puritans for the brittish.
I learned just today that my ancestors were Huguenots, very interesting , while they were in France their last name was pulan and coming to America they changed it to pullen,
Thank you so much! These reviews are very helpful. Especially since I'm taking AP Exams this year for history in (Euro, Art, & U.S.) You are very funny as well, hehe.

The War of three Henrys is so funny and interesting xD (It's not mentioned much in this video, but I suggest you look up Henry Duke of Guise because he looks a lot like phineas from phineas and ferb)
I am a Protestant but not Calvinist nor Lutheran, I'm simply a Protestant though I adapted the radical attitude of a Calvinist and admired Luther's reforms and adapted some of his ideas and both inspired me in terms of nationalism against Catholicism. Lutherans also inspired me that I am loyal to Protestantism and keep on fighting the corrupt doctrines of the Catholic Church.
*Katherine de Medici & Henry II actually had 4 surviving sons with 3 becoming kings of France... Also their ruling house was pronounced Val- wah (spelled Valois but pronounced Val- wah)...
Thanks for the video! Extremely helpful for an upcoming French literature exam, unfortunately pronunciation and spelling is an important factor in my case :( .
Homeschooler here...subscribing! Your videos are great supplements to what my boys are learning in history. I'm sure your students appreciate such a charismatic teacher! Your French pronunciations, however...are not so good. ;-) Haha! Thanks for making these.
Thank you for this information. This is in fact my personal history. My forefathers were French Hugenotes that came to South Africa in 1688 because of catholic persecution. We still spell it Hugenotes and we still believe in God as the Supreme Super Natural Being. God Is Everything.
France's reaction seemed geopolitical. England was for Protestantism and Spain is more Roman Catholic. Therefore France is somewhere in between where they claim to be Roman Catholic but not allowing the Papacy to get involved in French affairs.
There is more to it. Given what a very small minority of different Protestants had done in England, Scotland, Geneva, Low Countries and Germany and the intrigues caused by them in France this uprising is understandable. The killing of innocent Catholic friars, monks, clergy and laity had caused real panic and anxiety. The anthropological truth is about unity and hegemony. Divisions cause conflict. The French majority decided to act to remove that threat. Expulsion would have been preferable.
I am French and I did comprehend quite a few things with your video! Thanks a lot! And ... btw.... Your pronunciation skills are pretty good! ;) (apart from Valois [Val -wha] ) But Diderot just told me he's not mad at you ;)
i spent more time paying attention to whether or not he was going to drink from his nearly empty beer but of tea than i was the actual historical content.
So I understand that St. bartholemew's day massacre was catholics killing protestants, but what prompted such a large scale massacre? And was it officials killing or peasants killing?
Cardinal Richilieu, (du Plessis) is a protestant French surname, out and out. After the 100,000 were killed, the people on the ground disarmed everyone.
They were killed because Jon Calvin allowed finance, which allowed the US. Calvin rejected this notion. 50,000 left to England. This was the end of France and the start of England. The Hugenote (Huisgenote/ house friends). They were friends of the Jews.
Irish Setter No they aren't England. America broke away. France has more to due with the United States development than the UK. France has more Aircraft Carriers, a larger Air Force, more tanks than Canada, Australia, NZ, England Sorry you are wrong Source:www.globalfirepower.com/
Ridiculous video! Catherine de Medici didn’t have three sons but five sons even if only three of them became kings. And they were not the last of the « Valois dynasty » and Henri IV did not establish the « Bourbon dynasty » simply because neither the Valois neither the Bourbons are dynasties. They are just two branches of the same dynasty: the Capetian dynasty. Catherine had no power during François II’s reign. He had taken, as his main advisor, the duke of Guise who was politically opposed to Catherine. She became « gouvernante » of the kingdom (not formally regent) for Charles IX but she put him in charge as soon as she could, even moving forward the time of his majority. Henri III ruled himself and she was proud of him because of that. So no. Catherine did not « rule throw her sons » or only during Charles IX’s minority and, later, very briefly between Charles IX’s death and Henri III’s come back from Poland. She was definitely not the « chief architect of the St Bartholomew’s Day Massacre ». The St Bartholomew’s Day Massacre did not have a « chief architect ». It was the result of an insurrection of parisian people. The royal family had totally lost the control of the events this day. It is proven by the letters Charles IX sent to the governors of provinces in which he ordered them to arrest plotters but to protect other Protestants. Where the Hell did you find this number of 20000 Protestants killed during the St Bartholomew’s Day Massacre? And do you have an idea of how many Catholics were killed by Protestants in this period? The Politiques were not a « new faction » when Henri IV took power. Charles IX and Catherine de Medici were already Politiques. François II was not and Henri III being or not is very debatable (Henri III was a complicated man). The Edict of Nantes had nothing of special. Charles IX and Henri III had already made very similar edicts, the Edict of Nantes even being less libertarian than Henri III’s Edict of Beaulieu (but Henri III was forced by the Malcontants to make this edict). And you forgot to say that, until Louis XIII’s Edict of Alès, Catholicism was forbidden in the places given to Protestants. I don’t know… What was your purpose by making such an absurd video?
Catherine de Medici was highly involved in the St Bartholomew's Day Massacre as well as the Duke of Guise. These two wanted to annihilate the Huguenots. In the other hand, King Charles IX only ordered the murder of Admiral Coligny, who was the main Huguenots' chief, because he could not tolerate the fact that Coligny had as much power than him in his own realm. Actually he ordered the murder of all the military chiefs of the Huguenots but then he could not prevent people from killing all non-Catholics
This conflict might of been bloodier and worse than the French Revolution! Conflicts based upon religion, culture or racial identity are always way worse than government ideology.
You are right in your analysis but this directly led to the climate for the Revolution later by allowing the conditions for Louis XIV to centralize his power and justify his divine right.
"It's a written test", this is a sagacious quote I will forever employ, thank you Tom Richey.

Tom Richey
Nobody is perfect ;)
Hi guys,
I am French and not long ago I've resumed my studies (actually starting a bachelor's degree in English language though I'm 34, everybody should be able to retrain)
Tom, I really appreciate your lectures so I wanted to thank you.
Regarding the French Wars of Religion I advise you some excellent readings (historical novels) about that period :
Queen Margot by Alexandre Dumas www.goodreads.com/book/show/153875.Queen_Margot_or_Marguerite_de_Valois#other_reviews
A chronicle of Charles IX
www.goodreads.com/book/show/18395173-the-chronicles-of-charles-ix#other_reviews
To remember how violent were those events one may quote Dumas's words in his novel ; " Le sang courait de tous côtés cherchant la rivière " = " Blood was running from everywhere looking for the river "
"An age before we had figured out how to get along with eachother"
That is something that still has yet to be discovered, now more than ever.
I was thinking the same thing lol
This is helping me so much with AP Euro. Thank you so much!!!
Well, I just spent four hours watching your videos to prepare for my test tomorrow.
"Imagine an astronaut, but... Not"
astro-not
I really like your video, but I feel compelled to correct your pronunciation:
Huguenots= Hugh-guh-no
Valois= Val-wah
+Margaret Ashton My teacher made a pun about the Huguenots: "Huguenots? Hugu-yes!"
its pronounces both ways btw
anal much?
Not how things work in the south
Margaret Ashton , yep your correct
Im French, its very cool to heard an american guy who speak about our religious history ! French huguenots and calvinists were very influent in France and gave to us some liberty rights and they gave a lot to a part of american protestantism but sometimes, they were not admitted because badly, some of them in france becames violents with a spirit of revenge ... and some catholics too. We can notify that, our huguenots are like the puritans for the brittish.
You make French history in an "accent" that people can understand is so incredible ... X O California
suuuuuper helpful. but im afraid i cant find the "Thirty Years' War" video... am i insane, or is it not up?
Tom the greatest of all time
I learned just today that my ancestors were Huguenots, very interesting , while they were in France their last name was pulan and coming to America they changed it to pullen,

Watching this 18 mins before my quarantine AP exam
Thanks for the video! Extremely helpful for an upcoming French literature exam, unfortunately pronunciation and spelling is an important factor in my case :( .
Better you than me having to take a test on French pronunciation!
Is St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre considered a genocide?

So I understand that St. bartholemew's day massacre was catholics killing protestants, but what prompted such a large scale massacre? And was it officials killing or peasants killing?
the "guy" faction was behind it and it was intended as a coup de force against the huguenots(the guys are the ultra-catholic faction)

i got the name wrong though, it's the «guise» ;)
was the huguenots a unified church?
No, unlike Catholicism Portestantism wasn't one religion but several different sects
What is a written test?
what happened to learning for the sake of learning and not only for scoring on a test?
i really liked your video
Great videos.
Helpful videos! Not the best French pronunciation but that's alright.
+TheAwesomeOne No lie! My French pronunciation is godawful.
Thank you so much! This helped a lot ^^ thanks!
I was so confused for the first half of the video until I realized that poster is of Denis Diderot! XD
How did I just now notice that creepy cat in the background? LOL
you don't mention dates.
0:23 does that dude in the portrait look like tom felton or am i seeing things
At this time, I do not have any knowledge of an entity or individual referred to as Henry IV, Part 1.
French books say he was catholic. He was at the time they combined with Poland.
So helpful Thank You!
that Vic Firth stick tho!

Thank you.

Nice choice of sticks
We called it the wars of the 3 Henrys
great pfp btw
Hehe. Sweet pronunciation of the french words :) But anyway. I like these short videos into some few areas of the big, big story.
You're very helpful good sir but you ain't sly by putting that Waldo in the image of the Bartholomew Day's Massacre... lol
Welp I just posted this right after I realized you pointed that out after I un-paused it... great
I can't be the only one who feels as if it's Matt Damon who's teaching me history... Come on, the guy looks very much like Matt Damon :D

that bottle of honey is too distracting oml i cant XD
well, you pronounced and wrote wrong conquistadores
This conflict might of been bloodier and worse than the French Revolution! Conflicts based upon religion, culture or racial identity are always way worse than government ideology.
France exhausted itself in these wars and leadership of Europe passed to Spain and England.
Not at all. France only was strengthened over these wars, and would later lead to France's golden age during Louis XIV rule.
Sorry John but with the loss of life and economic chaos it took France over 100 years to recover any glory.
You are right in your analysis but this directly led to the climate for the Revolution later by allowing the conditions for Louis XIV to centralize his power and justify his divine right.
