This massacre of Protestants by Catholics marked the climax of the Wars of Religion. It began in Paris before dawn on the feast day of Saint Barthélemy on August 24, 1572, and spread to other parts of France. Estimates by contemporaries of the number of those killed vary widely, from 2,000 to 100,000 nationwide, but it is a typical example of religious intolerance taken to an extreme form. France had been in the midst of the Wars of Religion since 1562, but the conflict between the old and new factions had been in a lull since around 1570. Symbolizing this, a marriage contract was concluded between the leader of the Protestants, Henry of Navarre (later Henry IV), and Marguerite de Valois (Princess Margot), the sister of Charles IX, and a grand wedding was held in Paris on August 18.

ユグノー戦争の頂点をなす旧教徒による新教徒の大量殺戮事件。1572年8月24日サン・バルテルミSaint‐Barthélemyの祝日の未明にパリに始まり,フランス各地に波及した。殺害された者の数については,同時代人の評価でも,全国で2000人から10万人と大きな隔りがあるが,宗教的不寛容が極端な形をとった典型的事例である。フランスは1562年以来ユグノー戦争に突入していたが,70年ごろより新旧両派の抗争は小康状態にあり,その象徴として,新教派の総帥アンリ・ド・ナバール(のちのアンリ4世)とシャルル9世の妹マルグリット・ド・バロア(マルゴ姫)との結婚契約が成立し,8月18日パリで盛大な婚儀が行われた。
