Condé was released from his captivity 15 days after the death of Francis II, on 20 December 1560. Navarre argued virulently on his behalf in council, making coded implications that revolt would break out if his brother was not restored to favour. Catherine managed to get him to withdraw his threat, and he submitted his recognition of her regency, e...
Road to civil war
The religious direction of Catherine's government increasingly isolated it among the grandees of the kingdom, with first Guise and Montmorency alienating themselves from the crown and departing court, and then Navarre entering opposition after the publishing of the landmark Edict of January. In this tense political moment, the duke of Guise, while travelling back to Paris at the request of Navarre to aid in his opposition, oversaw a massacre at Wassy. Continuing on to Paris with his retinue o...
Civil war
Condé's strategy was to seize strategic towns across France, and leverage them for a favourable settlement. To this end local Huguenots across France were encouraged to rise up, and successfully did so in Tours, Rouen, Montpellier and Blois among other cities. Condé failed to seize on the initial momentum however, and was in Orléans in May when Catherine sent François de Scépeauxto negotiate with him, offering the deprival of Guise and Montmorency of their offices and the sole command of the...
Removing the English
With the end of the civil war, the matter of the English occupation of Le Havre and Dieppe became a concern for the crown. Catherine decided that a combined army retaking these cities would help heal the wounds of the previous year. While Coligny and Francois de Coligny d'Andelot refused to participate against their former ally, Condé joined in the crown's effort. The forces under the command of Condé, Charles de Cossé, Count of Brissacand other leaders brought the cities back into submission...
Feud
Meanwhile a feud had been developing between the Guise and Montmorency family, the former of whom blamed Montmorency's nephew Coligny for the assassination of the duke of Guise, the latter of whom had brought his nephew under his protection. Seeking advantage in this quarrel the Cardinal of Lorraine reached out to Condé aiming to build a non-confessional basis of support. This was buoyed by the death of his wife in July 1564, which severed his kinship ties to the Montmorency. The two had a fr...
Surprise of Meaux
Condé would however drift away from the Guise in the coming years, as they abandoned their non-religious approach and began championing the Catholic ultras in pursuit of their vendetta. In particular modifications to the Edict of Amboise which reduced its terms, and a meeting between Catherine and the Duke of Alba were met with disquiet by Condé and Coligny. When a further modification was made to the edict of Amboise in 1567, expanding the ban on Protestantism in Paris to the Ile de France r...
Civil war
With their coup a failure, Condé and the other leading plotters decided to besiege Paris, hoping to starve the king out before the crown could assemble the full force of its army against them. Much as with the first civil war, they were aided by subsidiary risings across France, which took the cities of Orléans, Valence and Auxerre among others. Condé negotiated aggressively with those sent out to meet him, demanding a free exercise of religion, the expulsion of Italian financiers and the rep...
Short peace
The Peace of Longjumeau largely represented a repeat of the terms agreed in Amboise several years prior. It would be uneasy, neither side holding much faith in its survival. The balance at court shifted from the moderates who had negotiated the peace, towards hardliners who desired its overturning. Meanwhile Condé and the Huguenot leadership disregarded the prohibition on foreign alliances, coming to terms with Protestant rebels in the Spanish Netherlandsto aid each other against 'wicked coun...
Not having the benefit of uprisings in northern cities, Condé and Coligny would reorientate the axis of the third civil war to a defence of the Huguenot heartlands in the south. His forces, and those of Tavannes, circled Loudun in late 1568, seeking to find good ground to attack the other. Eventually the Crown's forces broke off to winter, and the ...
