| Assassination of the Duke of Guise |
Henry I (Duke of Guise) formed the Catholic League in 1576 in an attempt to forcefully remove Protestantism from France. Philip II of Spain, the Pope, Jesuits, and many Catholics both in and outside of France were strong supporters of their movement. Their main goal at the end of the 16th century was the removal of the Protestant-sympathizing King Henry III.
