Editing Michel de l'Hôpital (section)

===Trent===
In February 1564, the [[Council of Trent]] at last concluded, and with this Lorraine returned to the kingdom, hoping to ensure that the councils recommendations would be adopted by the kingdom. L'Hôpital positioned himself in opposition to Lorraine, arguing that the Tridentine decrees would violate the Gallican privileges of France. He further argued that Lorraine was attempting through the presenting of these suggestions, to achieve through council what he had failed to achieve on the battlefield in 1562, i.e. the domination of France by ultra-Catholicism. Lorraine reacted with outrage to these suggestions, characterising L'Hôpital as an ingrate who failed to appreciate what the Guise family had done for him in the past decades. He further shouted that he was no longer sure what religion L'Hôpital followed.{{sfn|Carroll|2011|p=172}} L'Hôpital retorted that the office of ''maître des requêtes'' that they had afforded him was a minor privilege and while he remained forever grateful for what they had afforded him, the debts that he owed their family could not be weighed against his service towards the king. As a parting shot he remarked that it was the duke of Guise who had brought the kingdom into discord with the [[Massacre of Wassy]] in 1562.{{sfn|Carroll|2011|p=172}} This spat concluded, the council voted on the adoption of the councils findings, and refused to validate them all, much to Lorraine's disgust.{{sfn|Thompson|1909|p=210}}
