Story behind the song
Marguerite de Valois, nicknamed Margot by her brothers, was the daughter of Henry II and Catherine de' Medici. Three of her brothers became kings of France: Francis II, Charles IX and Henry III. Her sister, Elisabeth of Valois, became the third wife of King Philip II of Spain. And what about Margot? She loved Henri de Guise but her mother would have never allowed the powerful House of Guise to rule France. And so... she chose another husband for her daughter. On August 18, 1572, the 19 year old Marguerite married Henry de Bourbon, who had become King of Navarre on the death of his mother, a Huguenot, the future Henry IV of France. Was this marriage a trap? Who knows. Probably, yes. Just six days after the wedding, on Saint Bartholomew's Day, a massacre of Huguenots was conducted by Parisian mobs, probably orchestrated by Catherine de' Medici.
Lyrics
She loves Henri But not Henri Not the husband Her mother Chose for her She loves Henri But not Henri Not the husband Her mother Forced her To marry. Shut the city gates Tie the knot! As for the Huguenots, Kill them all. Kill them all!
