Except that St Bartholomew's Day (and thus the massacre) is on 24th August (which is tomorrow). The massacres lasted several weeks, and went beyond Paris. And there is no clear consensus on whether Catherine 'approved' the massacre. Sorry, to be picky, but #HistoryMatters.
#OnThisDay in 1572, the St Bartholomew's Day massacre occurred where French Huguenots (Protestants) were murdered en-masse in Paris. The massacre was approved by Catherine de' Medici - the mother of the French king Charles IX

On this day in 851, Erispoe, Duke of Brittany, defeated Charles the Bald, King of West Francia, at the Battle of Jengaland. The battle was in the balance for much of the day, before Charles overreached himself and the Frankish army collapsed. #OTDIH

On this day in 1890, the Great American writer H.P. Lovecraft was born. Before turning his focus to horror writing, Lovecraft had pitched a series of racy short stories to Mills & Boon, but was told their audience had no appetite for ‘H.P.’s Sauce’. #OTDIH

On this day in 747, Pepin the Short became the sole ruler of the Franks. He could not yet call himself the King, as Childeric the Pelvis has not yet left the building. #OTDIH
