Talk:St. Bartholomew's Day massacre

Page contents not supported in other languages.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hard to believe that but the page is in the wrong place. This article refers to a single event known as the (specific) St Bartholomew's Day Massacre, not one (particular) St Bartholomew's Day massacre out of many. "The massacre on St Bartholomew's Day" would be correct, but this phrasing isn't.

That's just simple WP:ENGLISH grammar, but—for the process hounds—yes, the correct grammar is also substantially the more COMMON in actual use. Google Scholar's searches can't parse by capitalization as far as I know but scanning the first few pages of results shows the correct capitalization is similarly generally favored in scholarly sources as well. (Keeping or not keeping the period is a WP:ENGVAR issue as far as I know, but it's more commonly written with the period in this instance, anyway.)

Discredited Memoirs of Marguerite and Henry III

[edit]

Discredited by who? How? Where can I find an English version of Henry's? Where would I find information about the process of determining the credibility of historical documents? The changes of culture and how it affects how history is viewed is as fascinating to me as finding out the "facts". Sometimes what people "think" happened is as significant as what "actually" happened. 2001:569:72BA:B200:2044:3CD2:A213:310D (talk) 02:28, 10 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Everybody. Don't know (there may not be one). Try the sources of the article. Johnbod (talk) 02:58, 10 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Add discussion of Huguenot refugees

[edit]

My understanding is that the massacre caused a great influx of refugees, some within France but especially outside it. I hope someone can add a discussion of the extent, the timeline, and the long-term effects of this emigration. Barnyard fowl (talk) 02:57, 16 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This is true, but it is a subject that merits its own page. The information is scattered over a half a dozen pages at present. Anyone up to the job?
