Huguenots Triumph at the Battle of Ivry

March 14th, 1590 435 years ago

Henry of Navarre led the Huguenots against the Catholic League, decisively defeating the forces of Charles, Duke of Mayenne, at Ivry. This victory was part of the larger conflict known as the French Wars of Religion, which pitted Catholics against Protestants in France. The battle occurred near Ivry-la-Bataille, and it solidified Henry's control over northern France, paving the way for his eventual rise as King Henry IV.
