France is sinking into chaos despite the heroic efforts of Catherine's old age.
She dies at Blois on January 5, 1589, eight months before the murder of her son Henry III.
Her ultimate achievement is to have saved the kingdom just long enough to ensure the succession of the Bourbon Henry IV, by whom the royal authority will be restored.
