François Ravaillac (French pronunciation: [fʁɑ̃swa ʁavajak]; 1578 – 27 May 1610) was a French factotum (nonfiction) in the courts of Angoulême and a regicide (nonfiction).
An occasional tutor (nonfiction) and Catholic zealot, he murdered King Henry IV of France in 1610.
His father Jean Ravaillac was a violent man whose many misdeeds were a public scandal and caused legal difficulties; his mother Françoise Dubreuil (sister of the canons) was known for her Catholic piety.
The son Ravaillac began work as a servant, later becoming a school teacher. Obsessed by religion, he sought admission to the ascetic Feuillants order, but after a short probation, he was dismissed as being "prey to visions".
An application in 1606 for admission to the Society of Jesus was also unsuccessful.
