Political Thought in the French Wars of Religion
Ideas on royal power in the French Wars of Religion
René Choppin (1537–1606) was one of the most cited French lawyers of the sixteenth century, and yet his contribution to intellectual history has gone curiously unexamined. This article considers the reception of his most important work, De Domanio Franciae (1574), in the political thought of the 1570s and early 1580s. It shows that Choppin was particularly influential in two key areas: the question of the inalienability of the French domain, and …
Jean Bodin, ‘This Pre-Eminent Man of France’
Jean Bodin (1530–96) lived through interesting times, punctuated by profound political instability, religious fanaticism and civil war. He witnessed the upheaval of the Reformation and the Catholic response in France, the troubles of minority kingship and weakened royal authority, political assassinations, notorious heresy trials and massacres of the Huguenot population. He participated actively and provocatively in political life, speaking out a…
Sovereignty and Government in Jean Bodin's Six Livres de la République (1576)
This article examines Bodin's distinction between sovereignty and government ("la police") in the Six Livres de la République (1576) in the intellectual context of the Wars of Religion, and argues that the terminology of "la police" requires investigation in order to clarify its meaning. It demonstrates how Bodin distinguished his understanding of political science from his contemporaries in explaining the relationship between administrative and …
Conseil à la France Désolée
Sébastian Castellion (1515–63), or Chateillon, Professor of Greek at the University of Basel, was best known, prior to the twentieth century, for his scholarly manuals: The Dialogi Sacri (1543/45) and his Bible en français (1555). Subsequently, due to his unflinching confrontation with Calvin and Calvinist orthodoxy after the execution of Michael Servetus in 1553, Castellion has emerged as a central figure in the bid for religious toleration. His…
Gallican Liberties and the Catholic League
Theorists of Gallican liberty took as their premise the idea that France had an exceptional status amongst the national Christian churches. However, as contemporaries had noted, the precise definition of Gallican liberties remained at stake; Antoine Hotman noted in his treatise on the subject that ‘it is a strange phenomenon that everyone talks of the liberties of the Gallican Church and, most of the time, very few people know what they are and c…
