Civil Wars are hard on friends and families. I recall a letter from one future general to another on the other side, written on the start of the U.S. Civil War, lamenting how strange it was to find his best friend on the other side, a man he'd always respect and whose thoughts and beliefs had aligned more closely than any other he had known.
The sight of soldiers destroying everything in the church was unbearable. This was not the first time in history when people smashed, burned, and otherwise destroyed church art, artifacts, books, and other irreplaceable treasures. Similar orgies of destruction took place during the Protestant Reformation a century earlier, and yet this was nothing compared with the massive loss of life during the wars of religion, particularly the St. Bartholomew's Day massacre of 1572.

Thanks for this I remember watching this many year's ago and it's just as good now 😊
