Reminds me of the pogroms of the High Middle Ages when the first Crusaders, instead of marching south, marched north with the belief that if Europe was converted to the One True Faith that Jesus would come again. Many Jews refused to convert, instead opting for suicide or to be slain.
Was it worth it? One phony religion versus another? As for me, I would have converted. Henry IV, in my opinion, must be regarded as being one of the most significant individuals of the Second Millennium, "(Insert whatever) is worth a Mass." In other words, some things are not worth dying for.
