← The Defeat of the Spanish Armada

In vain he ordered Te Deums for his triumph. [fact]

In vain Henry III sent the Parisians a veracious account of his conduct of the campaign in which the great foreign army had been turned back at a minimum cost in money and blood. In vain he ordered Te Deums for his triumph. The Parisians gave all the credit to the Duke of Guise.
