French admiral Gaspard de Coligny and Louis…

August 1568 CE

French admiral Gaspard de Coligny and Louis de Bourbon, Prince of Condé, both prominent Huguenot leaders, form a loose alliance with the Prince of Orange, who has begun to direct counteroffensives against the imperial Spanish forces in the Netherlands.

The Roman Catholic Guise family meanwhile increases its involvement with Spain.

Charles de Guise, Cardinal of Lorraine, regards the recently deposed Mary Stewart as a tool for unseating her cousin, England’s childless Queen Elizabeth, and installing a Catholic monarch on that throne.
