__**1. What led to the St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre?**__ __**A.** Catherine de' Medici did not want to choose sides during the French civil wars for her own reasons, so she tried to play both sides against each other. Medici then became scared that Coligny's influence was overpowering the King, so she took advantage of the fact that the Huguenots were going to Paris to see Henry get married, to kill them off there. Which led into the St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre.__

__**2. What did Henry IV do in which the Catholics then accepted him as King?**__ __**A.** Henry IV was a Huguenot and the Catholics refused to recognize him as King. Henry realized that there were many Protestants left since the war and most of France was Catholic, so he abjured to the Calvanist faith and subjected himself to the elaborate processes of papal absolution. After that, the Catholics accepted him.__
