Religion/War

Wars are often due to religions The massacre by Duke François de Guise of a hundred Protestants attending worship in a barn in the city of Wassy on March 1, 1562, is considered the event that triggered the first war. of religion. At the call of Louis de Bourbon, Prince de Conde, the Protestants take up arms. Condé seized Orleans on April 2nd.
The war extends to the whole kingdom. It is marked by wild violence in one camp as in the other. March 19, 1563 is signed the Edict of pacification of Amboise negotiated by Conde and the constable de Montmorency. It is crazy that religions that promote peace create at the end of wars.
