  • The Idea of Medieval Heresy in Early Modern France

    The Idea of Medieval Heresy in Early Modern France

    The Idea of Medieval Heresy in Early Modern France Bethany Hume PhD University of York History September 2019 2 Abstract This thesis responds to the historiographical focus on the trope of the Albigensians and Waldensians within sixteenth-century confessional polemic. It supports a shift away from the consideration of medieval heresy in early modern historical writing merely as literary topoi of the French Wars of Religion. Instead, it argues for a more detailed examination of the medieval heretical and inquisitorial sources used within seventeenth-century French intellectual culture and religious polemic. It does this by examining the context of the Doat Commission (1663-1670), which transcribed a collection of inquisition registers from Languedoc, 1235-44. Jean de Doat (c.1600-1683), President of the Chambre des Comptes of the parlement of Pau from 1646, was charged by royal commission to the south of France to copy documents of interest to the Crown. This thesis aims to explore the Doat Commission within the wider context of ideas on medieval heresy in seventeenth-century France. The periodization “medieval” is extremely broad and incorporates many forms of heresy throughout Europe. As such, the scope of this thesis surveys how thirteenth-century heretics, namely the Albigensians and Waldensians, were portrayed in historical narrative in the 1600s. The field of study that this thesis hopes to contribute to includes the growth of historical interest in medieval heresy and its repression, and the search for original sources by seventeenth-century savants. By exploring the ideas of medieval heresy espoused by different intellectual networks it becomes clear that early modern European thought on medieval heresy informed antiquarianism, historical writing, and ideas of justice and persecution, as well as shaping confessional identity.

    The Subversive Court of Louise Bénédicte De Bourbon, Daughter-In-Law of the Sun King (1700–1718)”

    Phi Alpha Theta Pacific Northwest Conference, 8–10 April 2021 Jordan D. Hallmark, Portland State University, graduate student, “Parody, Performance, and Conspiracy in Early Eighteenth-Century France: The Subversive Court of Louise Bénédicte de Bourbon, Daughter-in-Law of the Sun King (1700–1718)” Abstract: This paper examines how the French princess Louise Bénédicte de Bourbon, duchesse du Maine (1676–1753), the wife of Louis XIV’s illegitimate son, the duc du Maine, established an exclusive court at her château de Sceaux beginning in the year 1700 that challenged the centralized cultural system of the French monarchical state. Located twenty kilometers away from the rigid and controlling political center of Versailles, the court of the duchesse du Maine subverted social norms by inventing and performing parodies of court protocols, chivalric orders, emblems, and other forms of monarchical imagery. In a time and place where women were both legally and socially barred from holding positions of authority, the duchesse du Maine created a parallel world in which she was the sovereign, presiding over a court of important political, cultural, and intellectual figures, including the philosopher Voltaire. By considering the significance of this subversive court culture in the context of the factional divisions and dynastic crises emerging in the last years of Louis XIV’s reign, this paper will show how the seemingly frivolous aristocratic divertissements of the duchesse du Maine and her circle were informed by political, social, and dynastic ambitions that would culminate in a conspiracy to overthrow the French regent, Philippe d’Orléans, in 1718. “Parody, Performance, and Conspiracy in Early Eighteenth-Century France: The Subversive Court of Louise-Bénédicte de Bourbon, Daughter-In-Law of the Sun King (1700–1718)” by Jordan D.

Fethke agreed with all rec- ommendations from a commit- tee that reviewed campus smoking policies; he also chose to move the proposed cam- puswide smoking ban up from July 1, 2009 to July 1, 2008. Also, the grounds sur- rounding the Field House will now be smoke-free as part of the Health Sciences Campus. This policy is to go Fethke into effect interim president immediately. The committee — which con- sists of Susan Buckley, UI associ- ate vice president for Human Resources; Susan Johnson, UI associate provost for faculty; and Joan Troester, director of UI well- ness — had the duty of seeing how UI students and faculty would react to the smoking bans and whether a campuswide ban could go into effect as early as next year.

  • Early Modern France, 1450-1700

    Early Modern France, 1450-1700

    Early Modern France, 1450-1700 PHILIP T. HOFFMAN T 1s ALWAYS SAID," observed Richelieu in his Testament politique, I "that money forms the sinews of the state." 1 Most historians of early modern France would agree. "Absolutism was, in large part, the child of the fisc," notes one influential essay on early modern France, and a chorus of recent works repeats the same refrain.2 Fiscal crises, it seems, provoked nearly every change in the French political system from the Hundred Years War to the Revolution; and the tax system brings into sharper focus than any other facet of the French state both the limits of absolutism and the peculiar nature of liberty in France. To speak of the limits of absolutism may of course seem self contradictory, particularly in the case of the kings of France, who have usually been considered models of unconstrained power, able to judge, to legislate, and to tax at will. But in practice absolutism was hemmed in on all sides. To begin with, any king, even a Louis XIV, could only tax the wealth available in his country: he could not take what his subjects did not have. In France the wealth available was by and large land-some 464,000 square kilometers at the end of the sixteenth century, and 514,000 a century later. The king's subjects­ roughly 8 million in 1440, 16 million in 1560 and 1600, and 27 mil­ lion at the end of the Old Regime-by and large tilled the soil. It is estimated that 73 percent of them worked in agriculture in 1500, a figure that fell only slightly in the next two centuries: to 69 percent in 1600 and to 63 percent in 1700.

Historical research highlights their role in consolidating the state’s authority, but few works provide empirical evidence on the intendants as bureaucrats. My paper fills this gap by constructing a new data set of 430 intendants for the period of their most systematic use from 1640 to 1789. My panel data set comprises the prosopography of nearly universal observa- tions in the period to document evidence on recruitment, promotion, and family backgrounds. My findings indicate that although France relied on the intendants for governance, it did not manage them well as the distribution of service duration and appointment age varies greatly. Dense networks intendants form through kinship and marriage also threaten impersonality. My analysis suggests the difficulty of structuring incentives to follow and implement rules. *I thank seminar participants at Keio University and Kwansei Gakuin University and participants at the 2020 Winter Workshop of the Japan Society for Quantitative Social Science for their constructive feedback to the previous drafts.

We will pay particular attention to recent historiographical debates over method. We will study various approaches to the French Revolution, and recent work on state-building, colonization, the Enlightenment and public sphere, gender, and political culture. All books marked with an asterisk should be available at the University Bookstore. All of the books are on reserve in HC White. There is also a crucial packet of all the other articles and chapters. It is available in the Humanities Copy Center at 1650 Humanities. Each student will choose between two different options for the course's written work: 1.) write three medium-length papers (c. 10 p.) which will analyze and critique historiographical or methodological issues raised by the readings; OR 2.) write two short (5-6 p.) reviews or think pieces on method, and one long final paper (c. 20 p.) on a pertinent historiographical or methodological issue. In either of these options, if it is appropriate, one paper may be a research proposal on a topic chosen by the student. Students will also be responsible for leading the discussions in certain weeks. WEEK 1 (JAN. 24): INTRODUCTION Those students who do not have much background in early modern French history may wish to use this period to read in surveys, such as selected essays in William Doyle, ed.
