Description: "Ronald Love places Henri IV's reign in context against the broader background of endemic civil war, contemporary religious culture, and the many responsibilities imposed upon the king by his royal rank and political role. Blood and Religion concludes with a close analysis of Henri's conversion to Catholicism in July 1593, including his crisis of conscience as he struggled to secure the crown and preserve his soul."--BOOK JACKET.
