date specified in-universe
21st August 1572: Admiral de Coligny is shot and wounded; the Abbot of Amboise, suspected of being an impostor who has derailed the assassination plans, is killed by his own allies; Steven (who is fresh from the mayhem of The Daleks' Master Plan) thinks it is the Doctor who has been slain. (as shown in The Massacre, 1966 - I used this picture for Andre Morell's birthday yesterday, but I think it's from this episode so I'll use it again.)
