Descendants of Henry IV of France
Encyclopedia
Henry IV of France
was the first Bourbon king of France. Formerly known as Henri of Navarre, he succeeded to the French throne with the extinction of House of Valois, at the death of Henry III of France
. In 1584, Prince François, the youngest brother and heir presumptive of King Henry III, died. Following Salic law, Henry became the heir presumptive to the French throne, as the First Prince of the Blood (Prince du Sang
in French
). He was then the closest relative of the king in the legitimate male line, and as such the next senior-most representative of the House of Capet
after the king himself. When Henry III died in 1589 without children, Henry succeeded him as king.
His descendants are varied and numerous. Some of his descendants are Juan Carlos of Spain, Franz, Duke of Bavaria
, actress Brooke Shields
. He had six children with his wife Marie de' Medici
and also had many illegitimate children through his many mistresses. This article deals with each of his children and their respective descendants.
. Although baptised as a Roman Catholic, Henry was raised as a Protestant by his mother Jeanne d’Albret
. On 9 June 1572, upon Jeanne's death, he became King Henry III of Navarre
.
When Henry was a boy, it seemed highly unlikely that he would ever inherit the throne of France, since Henry II
had produced four surviving sons. However, the "prince of Navarre" pedigree gave him a special place of honour in the French nobility
, since all sons of the Bourbon line were acknowledged as the princes of the blood
. As the senior male representative of that line, Henry was officially the First Prince of the Blood.
However, Henry of Navarre became the legal heir to the French throne upon the death in 1584 of François, Duke of Alençon
, brother and heir to the Catholic King Henry III. Because of Henry's status as the 'Price du Sang', Henry III had no choice but to recognise him as the legitimate successor. The Salic law
disinherited the king's sisters and all others who could claim descent by the distaff line. Catherine de Medici, the King's mother, had attempted to unite Valois and Bourbon interests. In 1572, by which time only two of her sons remained alive, she brokered a marriage between her daughter Marguerite of Valois and Henry.
On the death of Henry III on 2 August 1589, Henri of Navarre nominally became the king of France. But the powerful Catholic League
, strengthened by support from Spain, forced him to the south and he had to set about winning his kingdom by military conquest, aided by money and troops bestowed by Protestant England. This set off the War of the Three Henries phase of the French Wars of Religion. The League proclaimed Henry's Catholic uncle Charles, the Cardinal de Bourbon
, King as Charles X, but the Cardinal himself was Henry's prisoner. Henry was victorious at Ivry
and Arques, but failed to take Paris.
With the old Cardinal's death in 1590, the League was undecided on a new candidate and quarrelled amongst each other. While some supported various Guise candidates, the strongest candidate was probably Infanta Isabella, the daughter of Philip II of Spain
and eldest granddaughter of Henry II of France
. This was injurious to the League's reputation, which became suspect as agents of the Spanish, but nevertheless Henry remained unable to take control of Paris.
With the encouragement of the great love of his life, Gabrielle d'Estrées
, on 25 July 1593 Henry declared that Paris vaut bien une messe ("Paris is well worth a mass") and permanently renounced Protestantism, thus earning him the allegiance of the vast majority of his subjects and the resentment of his former allies. He was crowned King of France at the Cathedral of Chartres
on 27 February 1594. In 1598, he declared the Edict of Nantes
, which gave circumscribed toleration to the Huguenots. However, this action of his angered a fraction of Catholics, who wanted Protestantism rooted out for good, and could see that Henry had no intention to do so. Therefore in 1610, in the peak of his reign, Henry was assassinated by a fanatical Catholic, François Ravaillac
.
Henry was nicknamed Henry the Great (Henri le Grand), and in France is also called le bon roi Henri ("the good king Henry") or le Vert galant ("the Green gallant"), a reference to both his dashing character and his attractiveness to women. In English he is most often referred to as Henry of Navarre. The reign of Henry IV had a lasting impact on the French people for generations afterwards. A statue of him was built in his honor at the Pont Neuf
in 1614, only four years after his death. Although this statue - as well as those of all the other French kings - was torn down during the French Revolution
, it was the first to be rebuilt, in 1818, and it still stands today on the Pont Neuf.
