After a few years of "armed peace", the Surprise of Meaux sparked a conflict of this type. The election of a duke as king of Poland helped relieve a siege of La Rochelle in one of these conflicts. A cavalry clash at Coutras decided another one, in which the sitting king was driven from his capital on the Day of the (*) Barricades. A spark for these conflicts was an attempt to abduct the young king called the Conspiracy of Amboise. A commander in these wars, Gaspard de Coligny, was murdered by supporters of the Guise family. These conflicts included the War of the Three Henrys and a massacre orchestrated by Catherine de Medici. For 10 points, name these struggles ended by the Edict of Nantes, which pitted Huguenots against Catholics.
