1593-1610 Presented to the Graduate Council of the North Texas State
379 THE CATHOLIC HENRI IV AND THE PAPACY 1593-1610 THESIS Presented to the Graduate Council of the North Texas State University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of I MASTER OF ARTS By William Jackson Fling, III, B. A. Denton, Texas August, 1977 I/7 Fling, William J., III, The Catholic Henri IV and the Papacy 1593-1610. Master of Arts (History), August, 1977, 130 pp., bibliography, 40 titles. This study explores Franco-Papal relations, and their effect on the French Church and State, from Henri IV's conver- sion to Roman Catholicism in 1593 until his death in 1610. Because Henri IV's primary concern, even in matters involving the Papacy or the Gallican Church, was to protect his kingdom from Habsburg encroachment, he was willing either to abandon his Protestant allies abroad, or to adopt reform measures, such as the decrees of the Council of Trent, that might weaken his own authority or disturb the peace of his kingdom. This caused repeated conflicts with the Counter-Reformation Popes Clement VIII and Paul V, to whom the primary enemy was always the infidel and the heretic. Nevertheless both sides realized that they needed each other to maintain their independence of Spain. TABLE OF CONTENTS Page INTRODUCTION ................ .*................. 1 Chapter I.

1 Word Versus Honour: the Case of Françoise De Rohan Vs. Jacques De
Word versus Honour: the case of Françoise de Rohan vs. Jacques de Savoie Una McIlvenna University of Sydney Abstract This paper examines one of the most notorious scandals of sixteenth-century France. In 1557, Françoise de Rohan, a lady-in-waiting to Catherine de Medici, launched a legal battle to get the duke of Nemours, Jacques de Savoie, to recognise their orally-agreed marriage contract and formally recognise the child whom he had fathered with her. Central to Rohan’s case were not only the love-letters Nemours had written to her but also the eye-witness testimonies of her servants, who had overheard their marriage vows and had witnessed their love-making. Nemours’s only defence was his word of honour as a gentleman that no marriage had taken place. This paper situates the case of Rohan vs. Nemours within a transitory period in French society as oral and literate cultures competed for precedence, and asks what happens to the concept of honour when the spoken word is no longer to be trusted. Keywords France, court, gossip, rumour, clandestine marriage, Françoise de Rohan, Jacques de Savoie, Catherine de Medici Introduction Upon the fifth of May the obscene, withered, Putrid, worn-out harlot again seeks men for her marriage bed. Likewise he who marries her is wicked, treacherous, lawless, Bankrupt, adulterous, accursed, disloyal and worthy of torture.1 These charming lines were written in 1566 to commemorate the wedding of Anne d’Este, duchess of Guise, grand-daughter of Louis XII of France and lady-in-waiting to the queen mother Catherine de Medici, and her new husband, Jacques de Savoie, duke of Nemours, the hero of the French campaigns in Italy. -

Early Modern Studies 9. Kirksville, Mo.: Truman State University Press, 2012. xiii + 290 pp. Maps, genealogies, figures, notes, bibliography, index. $49.95 U.S. (pb). ISBN 978-1-61248-071-8. Review by Brian Sandberg, Northern Illinois University. Over the past decade, a new history of early modern nobles has emerged. Previous scholarship on European elites in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries had relied heavily on the sociological theories of Norbert Elias and Max Weber to analyze nobles’ patron-client ties, modes of sociability, and roles in state development.[1] During the 1980s and 1990s, historians such as Arlette Jouanna, Jean-Marie Constant, Ellery Schalk, Jonathan Dewald, Sharon Kettering, William Beik, Robert Harding, Mack P. Holt, James Collins, and Kristin Neuschel forged social and cultural interpretations of early modern French nobles that destroyed older caricatures of the frivolous royal court and models of the “nobility in crisis.”[2] Building on this groundbreaking work, a new wave of historians of nobility have now begun to explore French archives with new anthropological and cultural methods to consider dynasticism[3], political culture[4], and noble violence.[5] Matthew Vester’s recent monograph, Renaissance Dynasticism and Apanage Politics: Jacques de Savoie- Nemours, 1531-1585, offers a biographical study of Jacques de Savoie, duc de Nemours (1531-1585), a cadet of the ruling Savoie dynasty who served as a military leader and courtier in France during the Habsburg-Valois Wars and the French Wars of Religion. -
Politics, Profit and Reform

This study of members of the wider Montmorency family in the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries demonstrates the financial and political benefits derived from female benefice holding. Abbey stewards and surintendants of aristocratic households collaborated in the administration of religious revenues. Montmorency control of Sainte TriniteT, the Abbaye aux Dames, Caen, for over a century was associated with attempts to assert political influence in Normandy. Conflict ostensibly over religious reform could have a political dimension. Yet reform could be pursued vigorously by those originally cloistered for mercenary or political reasons. ecent studies of early modern nuns have emphasised the importance of family strategy in their experience. Dynasticism Rwithin convents and enforced monachisation of women to preserve family inheritances are two aspects of this strategy evident in early modern Italy, particularly Tuscany; in sixteenth-century France, the importance of female networks centred on abbeys has been noted as a significant dimension of aristocratic patronage. Such phenomena were not incompatible with reform in female religious orders which, in the context of early modern France, embraces both the impact of Protestan- " tism and renewal of Catholic devotion.
