Guise, House of Ducal house of Lorraine, the most powerful family in 16th-century France.
Claude, Duke of Lorraine (1496–1550), founded the house in 1528. His eldest son,
Francis (1519–63), supervised the massacre of
Huguenots at Vassy in 1562, precipitating the French Wars of
Religion. His second son,

Trent. His daughter
Mary of Guise, married
James V, and was the mother of

Henri (1550–88), helped to organize the
Saint Bartholomew's Day Massacre (1572) and led the Holy League, which vehemently opposed Protestantism. Guise power declined when
Henry IV acceded to the throne.
