The Massacre at Paris The Massacre at Paris is an Elizabethan play by the English dramatist Christopher Marlowe (1593) and a Restoration drama by Nathaniel Lee (1689), the later chiefly remembered for a song by Henry Purcell. Both concern the Saint Bartholomew's Day Massacre, which took place in Paris in 1572, and the part played by the Duc de Guise in those events.
Charles Palissot de Montenoy Charles Palissot de Montenoy (3 January 1730 – 15 June 1814) was a little known 18th-century French playwright, admirer and disciple of Voltaire and Antoine de Rivarol, but paradoxically often denounced as a Counter-Enlightenment opponent to the parti philosophique, especially for his critic of Diderot and the Encyclopédistes. He is the author of the comedy, "Les Philosophes", which was a huge success and caused a scandal in 1760.
