I went looking for more information about Lord Goligny after reading the St. Bartholomew Massacre. The assigned reading gave no background and I unclear why this person was sought out specifically and murdered. The article itself was helpful, but not interesting. It gave the very dry details of his "growing up", you know, who his parents were, where he lived, who he married, what he did for a living, but it gave no real insight to why he chose the religion he did, what he did that made him a leader of significance, and why the Queen may have encouraged his death, other than he was a protestant leader and she was staunch catholic. Maybe this lack of detail is just the way history was recorded, the bare minimum, or what was one person's inpretation of relevant information, but I'd like more humanistic details.
