Rise of Henry IV
The marriage of Elizabeth of France and Henry, duke of Beaumont would be seen as a good move for Catherine Tudor as Henry, duke of Beaumont rose as Henry III of Navarre and Henry IV of France and maintained the Breton inheritance to France due to successive deaths of her two sons, Charles IX and Francis III without children.
On the death of Francis II on 1560, Catherine of England would manage to be the regent for her sons Charles IX who reigned from 1560-1563 and Francis III in 1560-1570, her daughter and husband Elizabeth of France and Henry III of Navarre would take the throne of France during that time she has already given birth to their first son Louis b. November 10, 1568, followed by two children Charles b. December 2, 1572 and Henry b. May 4, 1580, this meant that Catherine of England was not wrong for her choice of marriage for her own daughter but rather she was right for that.
Henry III of Navarre would be crowned as Henry IV of France which would also integrate Bearn and Northern Navarre to the French realm which would not be received nicely by the people there which would force him to give the territories concessions and liberties like religious toleration.
