Page "Robert Bellarmine" Paragraph 3

Until 1589, Bellarmine was occupied as professor of theology.

After the murder in that year of Henry III of France, Pope Sixtus V sent Enrico Caetani as legate to Paris to negotiate with the Catholic League of France, and chose Bellarmine to accompany him as theologian.

He was in the city during its siege by Henry of Navarre.
