Religion, Fifth War of

Years: 1575 - 1576

Three months after Henry of Anjou's coronation as King of Poland, his brother Charles IX dies (May 1574).

Henri secretly leaves Poland and returns via Venice to France, where he is crowned King Henry III in 1575, at Rheims, but hostilities – the Fifth War of Religion – have already flared up again.

“Hegel remarks somewhere that all great, world-historical facts and personages occur, as it were, twice. He has forgotten to add: the first time as tragedy, the second as farce”
