He founded the French Catholic League in 1576 with the objective of preventing the heir, the Protestant Henry of Navarre, from becoming king. Guise was assassinated by order of Henry III on 23 December 1588. A print from La France et les Français à Travers les Siècles, Volume III, F Roy editor, A Challamel, Saint-Antoine, 1882-1884.
