In the name of her son, Charles IX, Catherine de’ Medici convenes a colloquy with the goal of effecting a reconciliation between Catholics and Protestants. Théodore de Bèze leads the Protestant delegation. The Catholic delegation includes a papal legate, six French Cardinals, and a number of French bishops. After a month of debate and deliberation, the colloquy ends unsuccessfully.
