""Charles IX: Ou L'Ecole Des Rois"" is a tragedy written by Marie Joseph Chenier in 1790. The play is set during the French Wars of Religion and portrays the events leading up to the St. Bartholomew's Day massacre, in which thousands of Huguenots were killed in Paris. The main character, King Charles IX, is torn between his duty to his mother, Catherine de' Medici, and his love for his Protestant friend, Henry of Navarre. The play explores themes of power, loyalty, and betrayal, as well as the consequences of religious conflict.
