L'expedition De La Tête De L'amiral Coligny A Rome (septembre 1572)... recounts a fascinating, if gruesome, episode in 16th-century French history. This work details the journey of Admiral Coligny's head to Rome in September 1572. Henri Menu delves into the historical and religious contexts surrounding this event, shedding light on the turbulent era of the French Wars of Religion.

The book explores the political implications of sending Coligny's head to Rome, examining the motivations of those involved and the reactions of the Roman authorities. Menu masterfully recreates the atmosphere of the time, offering readers a vivid glimpse into the passions and conflicts that defined this period. A valuable resource for scholars and anyone interested in French history and the Renaissance.
