    He founded the Catholic League and waged war on the Protestants in an attempt to seize the throne of France, and accordingly, entered Paris and "threw out" the king?

    You are indeed right (at least that is what never erring wikipedia says).

    Just post a new picture. This thread is on the verge of dying.

    Edit: gave you the rep, too. Sorry Döbeln, that I interfered with your riddle but it has been more than a day since Ancient posted the solution. It would be a shame for this thread to die.

    Nah, while I love the works of Epicurus, that was a far off guess.
