Charles IX, son of Henri II and Catherine de Médicis, came to the throne at a very young age, under his mother's regency. His reign was dominated by the Wars of Religion between Catholics and Protestants, and was above all marked by the St Bartholomew's Day massacre in 1572, which permanently tarnished his image.
