The French Protestants Are Killed by 5 a.m.

Catherine Dottors' Margot is now, of course, the wife of a Huguenot. She's in bed when one of her husband's men comes running in covered in blood and clings to her for dear life. The guy actually spares his life, but by 5 a.m., nearly all of the major French Protestants have been killed. Lots of French Protestants have brought their families into town for the wedding.
