SECTION A

Read the two passages and answer Question 1.


1 Evaluate the interpretations in both of the two passages.

Explain which you think is more convincing as an explanation of Catherine de Medici’s role in the
St Bartholomew’s Day Massacre. [30]


Passage A

Catherine grew fearful that it would soon be too late to spring her trap. Perhaps Coligny had plotted
to kidnap the king and have her sent into exile. Maybe she really would end up being forced to live on
her estates in the Auvergne, far from Paris, after all. It is impossible today to know exactly when and
how the plan for the murder of Admiral Coligny was arranged, but as the Guise family were in Paris
for the wedding they provided the accomplices Catherine needed.

Catherine’s use of the Guises was calculated and brilliant. Despite the certainty that the Huguenots
would clamour for vengeance after the death of the Admiral, she and the king would be above
suspicion. The Protestants would blame the Guises, assuming the murder to be only a continuation
of the blood feud between the Chatillons and the Lorrainers. The Guises for their part were entirely
fired up by the thought of finally seeing vengeance done, and counted on Catherine’s royal protection.
The queen mother’s aims were thus probably twofold: her first consideration was to kill Coligny, but if
the Guises fell prey to the vengeance of the Protestants she might also achieve her ultimate goal, the
downfall of both of the Houses that had menaced the state by their imperious attempts to control the
monarchy since the death of Henry II.

Yet before Coligny’s execution – for such was it seen by Catherine – the wedding arranged to
symbolise religious and national harmony must take place.

Leonie Frieda, Catherine de Medici, published in 2003.


Passage B

Those observers who believed in a premeditated strike naturally believed Catherine de Medici was
the only one capable of launching the attack on Coligny. However, this contradicts everything that
we know about her role in the search for peace, of which the marriage of her daughter with the king
of Navarre was to be the culmination. Attacking Coligny would have been a denial of the aim of
reconciliation of the king’s subjects pursued since the Peace of St Germain: it would have destroyed
the policy pursued up to then. On the eve of the ambush Catherine de Medici was thinking only of the
negotiations for the marriage of her son to the queen of England; she wrote on that day to Elizabeth
to propose a rendezvous in the English Channel, half way between the two realms. The calm with
which she discusses the interview reveals a peaceful intent that corresponds to her persistent wish to
harmonise and pacify the opposed forces within France, rather than to thoughts of blood-letting and
murder.

Another motive has often been put forward to support the theory of the queen mother’s involvement
in the attack on Coligny – her jealousy towards him because he seemed to dominate the king. But
we should be careful not to overestimate the role of Coligny in the king’ decisions. After the council
meeting of 9 August, and its clear decision to reject the policy proposed by Coligny, it was plain that
the king would not enter the war that his mother feared so much. There is no evidence for the theory
of the queen mother’s supposed guilt.

Arlette Jouanna, The St Bartholomew’s Day Massacre, published in 2007.

SECTION B

Answer any two questions.


2* ‘The revival of the Catholic Church in the period from 1492 to 1610, owed little to the impact of
Protestantism.’

How far do you agree? [25]


3* ‘The key institutions of the Catholic Church were radically changed by the Catholic Reformation.’

How far do you agree with this view of the period from 1492 to 1610? [25]


4* ‘The contributions of reformers, such as Erasmus and Loyola, were more important in shaping
the Catholic Reformation than the actions of the popes during the period from 1492 to 1610.’

How far do you agree? [25]
