Autobiography of Jesse H. Pomeroy-Jesse Pomeroy
from History of Henry the Fourth King of France and Navarre · host John Stevens Cabot Abbott
Dive into the captivating life of Henry IV, the first Bourbon King of France and Navarre. Raised as a Protestant, Henry narrowly escaped the brutal St. Bartholomews Day massacre and led the Protestant forces during the fierce French Wars of Religion. Deciding that Paris was well worth a mass, he renounced the Calvinist faith, effectively bringing an end to the relentless warfare tearing through France. Known as Good King Henry, he is celebrated for his bravery, affability, and his deep care for his people. Despite surviving numerous assassination attempts, his life was cut short by François Ravaillacs blade in 1610. Join Pamela Nagami, M.D., in this riveting exploration of his reign.
