Answer

Margaret's husband became King of France in 1589. This was after the death of King Henry III, who was Margaret's brother-in-law. Henry III was assassinated by a Catholic fanatic, and Margaret's husband, Henry of Navarre, was the next in line to the throne. Henry of Navarre was a Protestant, and this led to a civil war between the Protestants and the Catholics in France.
