| Summary | "History of the Rise of the Huguenots, Vol. 2" by Henry Martyn Baird is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The work explores the complex and tumultuous relationships between the Huguenots, or French Protestants, and the Roman Catholic majority during the religious conflicts of the 16th century. Baird delves into events such as the Edict of January, the ensuing civil wars, and key figures such as Condé and Coligny, painting a vivid picture of the struggles for religious tolerance and power in France. At the start of this volume, the narrative sets the stage for the first civil war, triggered by the inadequate concessions of the Edict of January. Baird details the discontent among Huguenot leaders and their efforts to adhere to the edict while experiencing growing tensions from the Catholic factions led by the Guises. As the situation escalates, the opening portion highlights significant incidents, including the massacre of worshippers at Vassy, a pivotal event that incited broader conflicts between the opposing sides. Figures such as Condé advocate for justice, while the Catholic leaders maneuver politically, establishing a volatile backdrop of mistrust that foreshadows the chaos of civil warfare.
