The French Huguenots in the course of the Third War of Religion, a more multinational conflict than the previous two, attempt to fortify the Southwest and stand off the crown.
Several months into the war, after much skirmishing, royalist forces under the nominal leadership of French king Charles IX’s younger brother, Henri d'Anjou—and actually led by Gaspard de Tavannes—surprise and soundly defeat the Huguenots at Jarnac on March 13, 1569.
Condé is killed; Coligny succeeds him as commander of the Huguenot forces.
Condé’s death leaves his son Henri I de Bourbon, second prince de Condé, and his cousin Henry of Navarre as titular leaders of the Huguenots.
