In La Dame de Monsoreau we find Henri III., the third son of Henri II., occupying the throne of France. He it was who, as Due d Anjou, was chosen King of Poland, as related in Marguerite de Valois, -and who returned to Paris so opportunely as Charles IX. was breathing his last, summoned by Catherine de Mdicis, whose favorite son he was. We find him, last and weakest of the Valois, surrounded and ruled by unworthy favorites, the famous Mignons; and much less king in fact than any one of half a dozen others. The Catholic League has grown in numbers and in audacity, and the Guises find a willing tool in the kings brother, Frau Qois, Due d Anjou, formerly Due d Aleu Qon, now, as always, ready to commit any treachery and enter into any agreement which looks to the placing of a crown on his head.
