 Catherine de Medicis was, as the world knows, much given to astrology and divination, and her Italian per- fumer, Rene, was her guide and coun- selor in these matters as well as her helper in preparing subtle poisons for administering to her enemies. Henry of Navarro had ostensibly become re- conciled to the Catholic church, and professed to desire only to live and en- l joy himself at the court of Charles. But Catherine had read in all the omens which occult art had summoned for her that Henry of Bourbon was to become l King of France and was determined to circumvent fate. She also knew that Henry dissimulated to save his life from an open taking off, and that, if a favorable opportunity occurred, he would fly to joion the Protestant rebels who were gaining strength in the south of France.
