COLIGNY. 141 COLLABED LIZARD. |)rudence and liis bravery. Opijoscd to the Hiigiic- not chiefs as the powerful t'atliolic party liead- ed l)y the Duke of Guise and the Constable de Montmorency. At the disastrous battles of Dreux (15()2) and .Jarnac (ISliD), Coligny's skill saved the remnants of the Protestant army. Conde was slain on the field of Jarnac and Coligiiy assumed the sole leadership until he gave way to the j-oung Prince of Xavarre. (See Henky IV.) Together they besieged Poitiers, but the Ilugue- uot forces were again routed on the bloody field of Jloneontour (October 3, 1569). When peace was concluded in 1570, Coligny went to Court, and was apparently well received by Charles IX.. but the enmity of the Catholic party, by whom Coligny was unjustly accused of having murdered the Duke of Guise at the siege of Orleans, was stirred up against him. and an attempt was made to assassinate him on the street, August 22, 1572. This was but preliminary to the general massacre of Huguenots which took place two days afterwards and in which Coligny perished. While upholding the Huguenot cause at home Colignj' e.xerted himself to secure a safe asylum for Ids coreligionists in the Xew ^Vorld, and sent repeatedly expeditions (Ribault in 1562. Lau- donniSre in 1564) to colonize what is now the southeastern part of the United States. Among his papers, burned by order of Catherine de' Medici, was his History of the Wars of Religion in France.
