This volume continues the narrative of French history, focusing specifically on the reign of Henry IV, a Protestant king during a tumultuous period marked by religious conflict and political maneuvering in France. The opening portion of the work details the momentous events surrounding Henry IV's initial rise to power after the death of Henry III. It describes the immediate challenges he faced from Catholic factions who opposed his claimed sovereignty, emphasizing the tension between Protestant and Catholic factions during the War of Religion. This section highlights key figures who surround Henry IV, such as various nobles and military leaders, as well as the dynamics of allegiance and betrayal within the competing factions. Guizot portrays Henry IV as a determined but vulnerable leader trying to secure his throne and maintain peace in a divided kingdom, setting the stage for the complex political and military struggles that define his reign.
