It makes a powerful case for the continuing relevance of the complex history of colonialism in France and the world today. This roundtable features reflections on the volume by four historians working on different…
Legacies of Violence? Catholic Militancy in Paris After the Saint Bartholomew's Day Massacre
This article traces continuities and changes in Parisian Catholic militancy after the Saint Bartholomew's Day massacre (Aug. 24, 1572). It evaluates the rites of violence later reactivated by some of the killers, alongside a radicalized faction of their colleagues in the civic militia, who belonged to a younger generation and played a significant role in the later religious wars. Pursuing a forensic examination of the surviving manuscript sources…

The Crisis and Recovery of Criminal Justice in Late Sixteenth-Century France
This article considers the role of criminal justice in maintaining state authority and social cohesion during a period of crisis. It presents a case study of the Parlement of Paris during the French Wars of Religion (1562–98), particularly in the final phase of the conflict known as the troubles of the League (1584–98). The article analyses a major body of new evidence in sample periods of appeals to the Parlement that contain a total of 2,500 ap…
Gaspard de Monconys’ Defence against the Charge of Imposture: Criminal Justice, Social Hierarchy, and Personal Identity in Early Seventeenth-Century France
This article analyses a remarkable criminal trial which took place in early seventeenthcentury France. In 1617, Gaspard de Monconys, son of a prominent judge in Lyon, was accused of committing sacrilege and theft in the basilica of Saint-Denis, and then framing an innocent man who was sent to the galleys. The case attracted significant contemporary interest because of the Monconys family's status and the way the dispute became a literary event. M…
Un « cas exécrable » devant le Parlement de Paris à la fin des guerres de Religion (1599-1600)
Jugé par les magistrats du Parlement de Paris entre 1599 et 1600, cet exceptionnel procès révèle les dynamiques locales des violences à la fin des guerres de Religion ainsi que les réponses judiciaires faites aux victimes. L’initiative de l’affaire vient de Renée Chevalier, dame de Chaumot, qui rassemble des dizaines de témoins pour les confronter au capitaine Mathurin Delacanche, qui avait commis des viols, vols et homicides pendant l’hiver 1590…
Prosecuting theft in Old Regime France, c.1540–c.1700
This article analyses a significant sample of theft cases tried in the appellate courts of the parlements of Paris and Toulouse from the mid-sixteenth century to the end of the seventeenth century. Despite some historians’ claims that theft was typically overlooked or settled informally, and that property crime only became a major social problem because of the rise of industrial capitalism in the eighteenth century, this article argues that Frenc…
The Streets as a Cloister: History of the Daughters of Charity 17th–18th Centuries
The Daughters of Charity are perhaps the most successful of the new female religious congregations founded in Counter-Reformation France. Launched in the early seventeenth century on the initiative of Louise de Marillac and Vincent de Paul, the congregation did not form an enclosed religious order of nuns, but instead their organization developed as a confraternity of secular women living in a community who took on a special role caring for the s…

Introduction: Legacies of the French Wars of Religion
Making Archives in Early Modern Europe: Proof, Information, and Political Record-Keeping, by Randolph C. Head
Since the turn of the millennium, historians have written a number of important studies of archives and information that together have been characterised as marking an ‘archival turn’. Many of these studies have focused on early modern Europe and the colonial territories governed by European states, not least since historians have suggested that these contexts are key for understanding the origin of modern western archival practices. In profoundl…
Dignified Retreat: Writers and Intellectuals in the Age of Richelieu, by Robert A. Schneider
The frontispiece to Robert Schneider’s important book is an engraving by Otto van Veen titled ‘The Hidden Life is Best’, which appeared in Marin Le Roy de Gomberville’s La Doctrine des moeurs tirée de la philosophie des stoiques (Paris, 1646). The engraving effectively summarises the preoccupations of the many writers and intellectuals in the age of Richelieu who appear in the pages that follow. In Gomberville’s commentary, the engraving depicts …
A Sodomy Scandal on the Eve of the French Wars of Religion
This article uncovers a sodomy scandal that took place in the Benedictine abbey of Morigny, on the eve of the French Wars of Religion, in order to tackle an apparently simple yet persistent question in the history of early modern criminal justice. Why, despite all of the formal and informal obstacles in their way, did plaintiffs bring charges before a criminal court in this period? The article investigates the sodomy scandal that led to the convi…
Sodomy and Criminal Justice in the Parlement of Paris, ca. 1540–ca. 1700
During a series of interrogations in late 1588, the magistrates of the criminal chamber of the Parlement of Paris tried Alexandre Jouan on appeal from the subordinate court of the Paris Châtelet for the "extraordinary crime" and the "sin" of "sodomy."Noël Biresse, who had been driving his cart outside Paris by the gate of Saint-Antoine, testified that he saw Jouan, a merchant who sold ashes, "lying with a baker in the ditch, on top of the man, wi…
Introduction: Remembering the French Wars of Religion
During the French presidential campaign of 2017, the Front National candidate Marine Le Pen caused outrage during a television interview when she identified Cardinal Richelieu as her political hero. She admired him, she said, because he had never allowed a minority religion to dominate France-a clear reference to the brutal military campaign against French Protestants during the last War of Religion (1621-29), culminating in the siege of La Roche…
Adjudicating the troubles: Violence, memory, and criminal justice at the end of the Wars of Religion
This article provides a new perspective on the themes of violence, memory and criminal justice at the end of the Wars of Religion by focusing on a particularly well-documented criminal case tried by the Parlement de Paris. Previous studies of the end of the troubles have often focused on the politics and personality of Henri IV or studied the memory culture of elites. This article instead examines how the witnesses who confronted the royalist mil…
The Voices of Nîmes: Women, Sex, and Marriage in Reformation Languedoc
The Voices of Nîmes is a major study of women’s lives in sixteenth-century Languedoc based on impressively wide-ranging and rigorous archival research. Lipscomb focuses on the records of the city’s consistory court in the sixteenth century, systematically linking these voluminous documents with other civic records kept by the city council and notaries in order to explain the functioning of the court and its role in urban life. This meticulous res…

The Procession of the League: Remembering the Wars of Religion in Visual and Literary Satire
This article examines the famous series of images known as the Procession of the League in order to explore how memories of the Wars of Religion were formed in the early modern period and with what consequences. Following the Edict of Nantes, the cumulative production of royalist painters, engravers, historians, poets, publishers, and collectors turned one of the strengths and defining features of Catholic League piety-its enormous popular proces…
Recording the Wars of Religion: The 'Drolleries of the League' from Ephemeral Print to Scrapbook History
When the Edict of Nantes ended the French Wars of Religion on 13 April 1598, it ordered in its first article that 'the memory of everything which occurred . . . during all the previous troubles, and the occasion of the same, shall remain extinguished and suppressed, as things that had never been'. 1 It declared forgetting to be the order of the day and echoed edicts of pacification issued at the end of the preceding civil wars, reprising the term…

Use of cognitive capacity in reading: Effects of some content features of text∗
Use of cognitive capacity was measured during reading of text in six experiments. Content features of the texts were varied. A secondary task technique was used to measure use of capacity. In all experiments, capacity was filled more completely while reading narrative text than while reading expository text. The finding was generalized over two pools of passages, over two modalities of secondary task probes— auditory and tactile—and over two seco…

Comparison of Outcomes of Behavioral Family Therapy Given Families with Children and Families with Adolescents
In a modified replication of an earlier study, 92 parents from 55 families with behaviorally disordered offspring were telephoned 6 to 12 months after termination of therapy to inquire about the presenting problem and family functioning. In the Child Program, 28 families were taught to decide on clear rules, reward acceptable behavior, and give time-out for unacceptable behavior. In the Adolescent Program, 27 families were taught communication, n…
Private family arrangements and the welfare of adults who lack capacity: An analysis of the safeguarding vulnerable groups bill
The safeguarding vulnerable groups bill aims to improve the system of checks on staff and volunteers who want to work in social care, health or education. However, it creates different levels of protection for children and for vulnerable adults. This article sets out the concerns expressed by a small coalition of disability charities that argued for improvements to the bill during its passage through Parliament. In particular, they wished to rect…
