Pope Gregory XIV issues a monitorial, excommunicating Henry IV
of France for his allegiance to the Huguenot faith. The Pope thus
allies himself with the Catholic League, headed by the Duke of
Mayenne and supported by Philip II of Spain, that aims to do all it
can to prevent Henry IV's accession to the throne.
