What is the Catholic League, this political-military organization that emerged during the Wars of Religion in France? And what is the political theory developed by this organization? These are the questions that this video aims to answer, by studying a short but decisive sequence of the Wars of Religion, the events of the years 1588 and 1589, from the day of the Barricades on May 13, 1588 to the regicide of Henry III at Saint-Cloud on August 1, 1589, as well as the development, from one of the most important texts of the League, the De la juste abdication de Henri III, attributed to the theologian Jean Boucher, which gives the best vision of what the political theory of the League is, and of what this organization wanted to be from an institutional point of view in France at the end of the 16th century.
