Have a little read: ... How important are the weaknesses of the French crown in explaining the outbreak of the French Wars of Religion in 1562? Previously France had been ruled by Henry II, a strong experienced ruler. It was, however, an unfortunate jousting accident lead to the swift decline of the French monarchy. Henry's successor, Francis II, was only fifteen years old on his accession to the throne in 1559. He was inexperienced and easily manipulated. Charles IX, a ten year old who relied upon the help of Catherine de Medici, his regent, then succeeded him. It was this new weak monarchy that acted as a catalyst for the many underlying problems that had been previously controlled. The weaknesses of the monarchy allowed factional rivalry to increase, social-economic problems to worsen and also sanctioned an over powerful regent to create catastrophic religious policies. It was a combination of these factors and the burgeoning Calvinist movement
