Anne de Montmorency was unable to win this ruler a critical battle against Emmanuel Philibert, the "Iron Head of Savoy." His support for Maurice of Saxony helped force the Peace of Passau, reversing some Protestant losses during the Schmalkaldic War. The Brazilian colony of "Antarctic France" was set up after this man's Edict of Chateaubriant kicked Huguenot oppression into high gear. This man was forced to accept the terms reached at Cateau-Cambresis by Elizabeth and Philip II, ending years of wars with the Hapsburgs that had seen his father captured at Pavia. He was the husband of Catherine de'Medici. This ruler may be best known for getting stabbed by a lance during a celebration at the Hotel des Tournelles.
