The St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre happened in 1572, before Henry became king in 1574, not during his reign as implied here.

Dear God, get your basic facts right. Massacre of St Bartholomew was in Charles's reign. Henry was known for his boyfriends too, his mignons.He also murdered the duke of Guise this is why the monk then killed Henry iii .
