King Henry IV
King Henry IV is popularly known as “Henry the Great” or “Good King Henry,” but some think that is amazing because of how his reign started. At the age of 19, he became the King of Navarre, and then two months later, he got married. Protestants flooded the city was as they celebrated, but were quickly greeted with the “St. Bartholomew’s Day Massacre.” King Henry IV almost did not make it out alive and needed to serve while in the French Court.

What King Henry IV Really Looked Like
The Good King is said to have managed to survive a total of 12 assassinations attempts while he was alive. Researchers chose to recreate him because of his religious tolerance. The team behind this project is the same team that worked on Robespierre – facial reconstruction specialist Philippe Froesch and forensic pathologist Philippe Charlier. Sadly, The Good King did not manage to survive the 13th assassination attempt. In 1610, a Catholic man stabbed him with a dagger.
