XY ANY i () SIXTY HEROES _ WHO MADE HISTORY By Albert Peyson Terhune. | wo. 31—MAXIMILIAN DE ROSNY, (‘The King’s Bulldog.??' | RANCE's future—and, in part, the history of the world--rested once om; F the shoulders of a man who Js to-day forgotten by the average reader. | i He was Maximilian de Bethune, better known as Daron de Rosny, or by, jhis later ttle of Duke of Sully. Well-hated, better foared, wholly respected, . , hls stubborn, surly honesty and heroism won for him the doubtful nickname > jot “The King’s Bulldog.” ? France was In a state of almost perpetual warfare from earliest timeay | down througli the reign of Francis I, To add to her distress civil strife! up between the Catholic and Huguenot (Protestant) fons. These} Hlatter conflicts were far more polltical than religious; but they rent the | jcountry with dissenston and civil war untll patriotism merged Into faction. {and national progress was halted by continuous bloc Henry IL, son | ‘ot Francis I,, married an Italian woman, Catherinede Med: ‘ho {mported } {nto France many Itallan customs, notably that-of murder by poison. She} and Henry had four sons, three of whom lived to be kings and all four of whom died childless. The first was Francis II., who died in early youth, leaving as widow tho beautiful Mary Queen of Scots. His brother, Spanien | IX., came to the throne and was completely under the rule of bis mother, $ Catherine de Medici, and of the powerful Guise family, “The Duke of Guise + and his brothor, the Duke of Mayenne, were .the-foremost nobles of the rea'm. On Charles's death his brother Henry Uf. (4 wegk, dissolute nonen~| tty), became king. His conduct dissatis{icd the Duke of Guise, who raised against him a powerful faction known as *7The Leagu had Guise assassinated, but the latter's brother, the Duke of t himsclf ag} the head ‘of the League and drove Henry/ou\ of Paris. 1 Now arose n situation that set all Europe buzzing. Henry IIL. wes} childless. Should he die the heir to the French throne would be his next off kin, King Henry of Navarre. This young; ® Prince (ruler of a subsidiary lttle province Im 8 The Iil-Luck of the south of France) was acknowledged head of] the Huguenots. ile was brother-in-law an eHenryioliNavarce: $ cousin of Henry {Il. and had up to this time won a well-earned reputation as the most fickle -pand-dlssolute. nian as_well-as-oye-of-the shrewdest diplomats and best_sol- diers In the kingdom. Some years before, to eave his life, he had turned Catholic. Then, as soon as the danger was removed, had again-become & Huguenot. When Henry III. left Paris he and Henry of Navarre joined forces against Mayenne. But an emissary of the latter assassinated Henry, {lL., thus leaving Henry of Navarre rightful King of France. But the, country would not accept a Huguenot king; the League still held Paris and} Phillp II. of Spain clalmed the throne af France for one of his own childrens Henry of Navarre was a king without a kingdom; poor, hated by all save; his own Huguenots, and distrusted by many of these. { Then {t was that Magiinilian de Rosny’s genius shone forth. After sell-; ; sprang sull more by wise counsel. Acting as balance wheel for Henry's eccentria ambitions, his was the master mind which shaped many of the history-mak-4 ing events which followed. Henry besleged Paris, but, for lack of support, | was forced to abandon the enterprise. Feigning retreat, he fel} back on} Arques. Mayenne, decelved by this manoeuvre, pursued. Henry beat him! in a decisive battle there in 1589; then advanced agaln on Parts, ravaging! the suburbs and almost succeeding in taking the city Itself. He won new} territory, and, in the following year, defeated Mayenne again, c: Ivry. In} this battle Rosny was dangerous! ounded, Once more Henry besieged Paris, and would probably have taken !t but for an aillance formed between Mayenne and the King of Spain. t Now by Rosny’s advice, Honry hit on ajcourse for which he has been: severely condemned. As France's only objection to him was the fact that he was a Huguenot, he turned Catholle nce more. All the country hailed him as Its King. He entered Paris in triumph {n 1594, destroyed the League, checked the Spanish {rvasion and began his reign as Henry IV. Rosny waa made his Minister of Finance-and was later created Duke of Sully. | Though he was at last acctpted as King, yet Henry found himself and lls country In even worse position than before. France was weakened and worn out by war, Progress, finance, Industries and culture were dormant, the people were miserably poor and overtaxed, the national funds at low abb and mishandled by corrupt o—{clals. To straighten out all these abuses. and put the kingdom en a basis of prosperity wos a far graver labor than the mere winning of the throne. And to Rosny 1s due the splendid achieve- , ment of the task. As Minister of-Finance he promptly drove out the horde! of “grafters,” cut down expenses right and left, curtailed the crazy extrava- gances of the court, checked the spendthrift Impulses of the King and put. the treasury’s affairs on a basis of rigid economy. -He then lowered tax rates and. encouraged industries throughout the realm.~ In this and similar ways he pald the enormous war debt and made the war-weakened land pros-.
