Best Answer

Causes: the French nobility, many of them Calvinist, attempted to regain power over a series of weak monarchs, while Henry III was involved with his male favorites, his mother, Catherine de Medici, dominated French policy, frequent religious riots symbolized the struggle for power in the upper classes and serious religious concerns among the lower classes, The Saint Bartholomew's Day massacre of Calvinists in 1572 led to the War of the Three Henrys, a damaging conflict for secular power, King Henry IV's Edict of Nantes (1598) saved France from further civil war by allowing Protestants to worship.
