Henry III of France
On August 1 of 1589, Henry III lodged with his army at Saint-Cloud, and was preparing to attack Paris, when a young fanatical Dominican friar Jacques Clement carrying false papers was granted access to deliver important documents to the king. The monk gave the king a bundle of papers and stated that he had a secret message to deliver. The king signaled his attendants to step back for privacy, and Clement whispered in his ear while plunging a knife to his abdomen. Clement was killed on the spot by the guards.
Francis III of France would succeed his father, Henry III of France at the tender age of twelve years old already engaged with Arabella Stuart and betrothed Princess Marie Elisabeth with Ferdinand, duke of Burgundy. Henry III of Navarre would be married off to Arabella Stuart on 1590, after her arrival to the French court and Henry III of Navarre forced to convert to Catholic by Henry III of France and Francis III of France would marry Isabella Clara Eugenia on 1591.
