Henry IV of France was crowned in 1594 and in 1598, he signed the Edict of Nantes, which gave official toleration of the Protestant Huguenots against whom France's Catholics had warred so bitterly. In a show of penmanship over swordsmanship, France's internal turmoil came to an end. Deeply concerned for the welfare of his people, Henry adopted policies and undertook projects to improve the everyday life of his subjects. Henry was also very fond of fraternizing with his subjects. In 1609, a fanatical and very likely deranged monk named Ravaillac killed Henry. In a modern business environment still reeling from the excess of rock star executives, Henry's legacy is one any leader would do well to study.

Where Christianity spread slowly, by proselytizing, Islam came from outside the Roman world as an alien intruder, and although its converts were pagans and often former Christians, the mind set of the invaders was one which viewed Greek learning as alien, as is illustrated by the fact that Muslims distinguished two kinds of sciences: the Islamic sciences, based on the Koran and Islamic law and traditions, and the foreign sciences, or "pre-Islamic" sciences, which encompassed Greek science and natural philosophy. In brief, Islam is a kind of democratic religion that relies on consensus, whereas medieval Christendom was a centralized religion, headed by a single individual, the Pope, who, in principle, had supreme authority to determine and shape religious opinion and belief.
