«L'étrange mort de Henri IV» is the historical essay by Philippe Erlanger, published by Perrin in paperback (310 pages, in French).
Philippe Erlanger reconstructs the murder of Henry IV on the basis of the motto attributed to him: «I make war, I make love, and I build». That triple ambition irritated Catholic princes, nobles and fanatics; the author traces how the idea of killing the king who reconciled the French could have germinated, amid amorous passions and warlike intrigues.
The full title is «L'étrange mort de Henri IV, ou, Les jeux de l'amour et de la guerre». This edition was published in 1999.
A work for enthusiasts of French history who want to delve deeper into the reign of Henry IV and the political and religious tensions of his time.
French historian, art critic and journalist (1903–1987)
