Default St. Bartholomew\'s Massacre

I am posting some links to something that took place almost 432 (in 1572) years ago (Anniversary date is August 24). It involves a host of issues but at the base was politics, or was it religion, or perceived wrongs, or manipulation of people by the influential, or was it a combination of many things?, or........?

Bartholomew #1

Bartholomew # 2

Bartholomew # 3

I posted these links with a short note under another thread but decided to post a separate thread for a general discussion if people wished to debate this wonderful event in human history. It is close to the Anniversary date so that is something we can all celebrate, possibly by singing the Te Deum and lighting a few bonfires.
