Virginie adds: Johannes V. Jensen's Kongens Fald (the Fall of the King), elected best Danish novel of the 20thC, that covers this period of history.
From Virginie:
Tuer et Mourir au Nom de Dieu : a fantastic podcast series about the St Barthélémie season with many prominent historians, particularly Jérémie Foa -on whom I largely base my blurb
Jérémie Foa's Tous ceux qui tombent book on the event
Jérémie Foa's BD (comic book) on the event, and on how the movie La Reine Margot is not quite accurate
La Reine Margot (Queen Margot) movie. Not really historically accurate, but it's with Isabelle Adjani
