Les remontrances: Discours de paix et de justice en temps de guerre. Une autre histoire des guerres de religion (France, v. 1557–v. 1603) , by Paul-Alexis Mellet
The scars of religious war in histories of French cities (1600–1750)
This article explores the memory of France’s Wars of Religion in urban histories published during the century and a half that followed the restoration of peace with the Edict of Nantes in 1598. It asks why, despite explicit prohibitions against reviving memories of injuries suffered during the wars, local historians persisted in demonizing former opponents in histories that remained overtly confessional in their representation of the troubles. Th…
Reflections on Community and Identity
Religious Conflict and Civic Identity: Battles Over the Sacred Landscape of Montpellier
In 1685, Louis XIV famously revoked the Edict of Nantes by which his grandfather, Henri IV, legalized Protestant worship in 1598. Ordinary Catholics are said to have been nearly unanimous in welcoming France’s return to religious unity, despite almost a century of largely peaceful religious coexistence, but why this was the case has seldom been asked and never adequately answered. Most scholars attribute this approval to the increasingly harsh rh…
Social Relations, Politics, and Power in Early Modern France: Robert Descimon and the Historian’s Craft
"This collection of essays focuses on the nexus of social relations, politics, and power in France as it moved from the age of religious wars into the age of absolutism. Using a wide variety of historical approaches and methods, these essays offer new insights into the evolving role of early modern elites and the social, familial, and cultural influences that shaped their values and priorities"--Provided by publisher.
Social Relations, Politics, and Power in Early Modern France: Robert Descimon and the Historian’s Craft
The study of history is a fundamentally sociable practice, with the exchange of ideas taking place in writing, over the seminar table, and often in informal discussions over food. These essays grew out of a web of sociability centered around French historian Robert Descimon, and focus on the nexus of social relations, politics, and power in France as it moved from the age of religious wars into the age of absolutism. Using a wide variety of histo…
Experiencing Exile: Huguenot Refugees in the Dutch Republic, 1680–1700
At a time when newspapers are filled with stories of the travails of emigrants fleeing civil and religious unrest, this study of the experience of Huguenots who fled to the Dutch Republic after the revocation of the Edict of Nantes in 1685 is particularly welcome. In contrast to previous studies of the Huguenots’ flight, which have tended to focus on the persecutions that drove them to seek refuge abroad or to analyse their dispersion among the c…
Were the Wars of Religion about Religion
William Cavanaugh's The Myth of Religious Violence raises important questions about the role of religion in society. It challenges all-too-common misunderstandings about the relationship between religion and politics and, most valuably, warns against any assumption that religion is peculiarly prone to violence. This essay nevertheless takes issue with his attempt to disprove what he calls “the myth of religious violence” with evidence from the Wa…
Rites of Repair: Restoring Community in the French Religious Wars
In 1564, France was enjoying an uneasy peace after the first of what would prove to be eight civil and religious wars. Catherine de Medici, the queen mother and effective ruler of the kingdom, decided to profit from the peace to show her fourteen-year-old son, King Charles IX, to his kingdom and that kingdom to Charles. For the next two years, the court was on the road, travelling in a wide loop around France. In every major town, the king partic…

Family Culture, Renaissance Culture
Born in 1960 with the publication of Philippe Ariès's L'enfant et la vie familiale, family history as we know it has been tremendously fertile. Although the succession is disputed, its progeny are legion. It is not my intention here to trace the complex genealogy of Ariès's descendants or to separate dutiful heirs from rebels who have renounced their patrimony. The family tree is too prolific, its internal divisions too complex. I hope rather to …

Widowhood and Remarriage in Sixteenth-Century Paris
This article analyzes the social, economic, and legal position of Parisian widows in the second half of the sixteenth century. Three principal aspects of widowhood are discussed: the position of the widow in the break-up of the family's economic community that occurred with the death of the head of the household, the continuing role of the widow in the management of family properties, and the situation of the widow who remarried. The author argue…
