Massacre of Vassy
The Massacre of Vassy, also known as the Massacre of Wassy, is the name given to the murder of Huguenot worshipers and citizens in an armed action by troops of Francis, Duke of Guise, in Wassy, France on 1 March 1562. The tragedy is identified as the first major event in the French Wars of Religion. The series of battles that followed concluded in the signing of the Edict of Amboise the next year, on 19 March 1563.
The events surrounding the Massacre of Wassy became widely known by a series of forty engravings published in Geneva seven years later.〔Jean Ehrmann, "Massacre and Persecution Pictures in Sixteenth Century France" in ''Journal of the Warburg and Courtauld Institutes'', vol. 8, (1945), London: The Warburg Institute, pp. 195-199〕
==History==
After the ascent of Henry II to the French throne, followers of the religious teachings of John Calvin, known as Huguenots, were persecuted in France. Catherine de' Medici, regent of Charles IX, proposed the Edict of January (or Edict of Saint-Germain) with the hopes that Calvinism and Catholicism could co-exist in France and that fighting would cease.
