Excerpt from The Fate of Henry of Navarre: A True Account of How He Was Slain, With a Description of the Paris of the Time and Some of the Leading Personages But what was, probably, the strangest thing in these attempts at murder is the fact that the whole of Paris, if not of France, knew that they were in the air, and no one knew it better than the intended Victim himself though he was often unaware from what direction the blow would be struck. Moreover, his life had been too frequently risked in battle day by day - at the period when he was endeavouring to secure the throne that was his by right after the assassination of Henri III., and to which he had been named as the rightful heir of that king, if he died childless, by Charles IX. And his brother - for him to pay much heed to such attempts. He talked about these plots openly he regretted that they should be conceived against him; he frequently stated that he would surely die at the hands of an assassin, but, except at the last, when he sought the Shelter of Sully's official residence - the Arsenal - he took but few precautions against them. As for the certainty that Henri would eventually be assassinated, it permeated the whole of the capital, and the prognostications on the subject were unceasing.
