“And though not a dominating or charismatic personality, the king [Henry III] had a widespread following of nobles, military and legal officials that belies the traditional view of him as a foppish weakling only interested in his minions.”
Mack P. Holt, The French Wars of Religion, 1562-1629

“After the jolt from Du Vair on 28 June, a second thunderbolt struck at the heart of the League and the meeting of the Estates less than a month later: Henry IV abjured his Calvinist faith and recognized the Catholic religion as the true church of God at St Denis on 25 July 1593. In an orchestrated move that showed his political genius, Henry IV eliminated
at a stroke the raison d’eˆtre of the Estates-General and dissolved the one unifying thread that had held the League together since 1588.”
