Chapters From French History: St. Louis, Joan Of Arc, Henry IV (1870) is a book by John Hampden Gurney that explores the lives of three significant figures in French history. The book is divided into three chapters, each dedicated to one of the three historical figures. The first chapter focuses on St. Louis, also known as Louis IX, who was a king of France in the 13th century. The author delves into the political and religious context of the time, highlighting the role of St. Louis in promoting justice and peace during his reign. The second chapter is dedicated to Joan of Arc, a young peasant girl who played a pivotal role in the Hundred Years’ War between France and England. The author examines her life, her visions, and her military leadership, as well as the political and religious forces that led to her trial and execution. The final chapter explores the life of Henry IV, a king of France in the late 16th century who is known for his efforts to bring peace to a divided France. The author discusses Henry IV’s political and military achievements, his religious policies, and his assassination. Throughout the book, Gurney provides historical context and analysis, drawing on primary sources and secondary literature to paint a vivid portrait of these three important figures in French history.With Sketches Of The Intermediate Periods.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
