アンリ2世 (Henry II) was the King of France from 1547 until his death in 1559. He was born on March 31, 1519, and was the son of フランソワ1世 (Francis I). His reign was marked by military conflicts, particularly with スペイン (Spain) and イギリス (England), as well as the rise of the Protestant Reformation in France. Henry II was married to カトリーヌ・ド・メディシス (Catherine de' Medici), and they had ten children together. His rule saw the strengthening of royal power, but it also faced challenges from the growing influence of the Huguenots, a group of French Protestants. Henry II died in a tournament accident, leading to a power struggle among his heirs.
