December 1572 CE

A third party of moderate Catholics, known as the Politiques, emerges under the family of Montmorency at the end of 1572, following the deaths of several thousand French Huguenots in what has become known as the Saint Bartholomew's Day Massacre.

Both Philip II of Spain and Pope Gregory XIII declare themselves pleased with the outcome, which is naturally viewed with horror by their religious opponents throughout Europe.

In France, it solidifies Huguenot opposition to the crown.
