| Note | Il succède à son frère Charles IX. Très intelligent et cultivé, il ne sait pas faire l'unité autour de lui, en raison de ses indécisions et aussi de son homosexualité qui lui fait accorder un crédit excessif à ses "mignons" (Epernon, Joyeuse). Après avoir lutté contre les protestants, il suit le parti des Politiques et signe la Paix de Monsieur en 1576. Henri de Guise fonde alors la Ligue et Henri III s'en déclare le chef mais il n'obtient pas l'adhésion des catholiques fanatiques. Il doit de ce fait reprendre la guerre contre les huguenots et signer avec eux la Paix de Nérac. A la mort de son frère, le duc d'Alençon, en 1584, les problèmes de succession rouvrent les hostilités. La journée de Barricades oblige le roi à fuir Paris en 1588. L'assassinat du duc de Guise est sans effet et le roi doit se rapprocher d'Henri de Navarre. Il va tenter de s'emparer de Paris avec lui lorsqu'il est assassiné par le moine ligueur Clément. |
