Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Anne's testimony about the massacre at Vassy (which killed her father) is the catalyst for Tavannes's orders to closely monitor the Abbot of Amboise and investigate the 'third man' (the Doctor/Steven). This shows the escalation from local violence to high-level conspiracy.
