Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online.Henry I, Prince of Joinville, Duke of Guise, Count of Eu (January 31, 1550 – December 23, 1588, Château de Blois), sometimes called Le Balafré, "the scarred", was the eldest son of Francis, Duke of Guise, and Anna d'Este. His maternal grandparents were Ercole d'Este II, Duke of Ferrara and Renée of France. He succeeded his father in 1563 as Duke of Guise and Grand Maître de France. He fought the Turks in Hungary in 1565, and on his return, he became one of the leaders of the Catholic faction in the French Wars of Religion. He fought at the Battle of Saint-Denis in 1567, and at Battle of Jarnac and Battle of Moncontour. His courting of Margaret of Valois in 1570 offended her brother, Charles IX of France, but his marriage to Catherine of Cleves restored his fortunes. Considering the Huguenot leader Admiral Coligny the architect of his father's assassination during the siege of Orléans in 1563, he murdered the Admiral in August 1572, thereby setting off the St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre. Henry was wounded at the Battle of Dormans (October 10, 1575), and was thereafter known, like his father, as "Le Balafré".
