ABSTRACT

In this paper, we review the historical background, development, and results of the Saint Bartholomew massacre, the most brutal moment of the French religious civil war, then identify the cause and responsibility of the massacre. Through this analysis, the political decision of the royal family and the popular violence occurred during the slaughter acted as a key basis for the coming of absolute monarchy and the formation of Catholic France. Furthermore, we should concern that tragedies such as the slaughter of Saint Bartholomew may still be possible as long as there is hatred and antipathy against Others.
