Nicolas Lamoignon De Basville, Intendant Du Languedoc De 1685 À 1718 : Une Longévité Rare
Académie des Sciences et Lettres de Montpellier 1 Séance du 16 novembre 2020 Nicolas Lamoignon de Basville, intendant du Languedoc de 1685 à 1718 : une longévité rare Valdo PELLEGRIN Maître de conférences honoraire à l’Université de Montpellier MOTS-CLÉS : Lamoignon de Basville, intendant, Montpellier, Louis XIV, monuments, dragonnades, camisards, Brousson. RÉSUMÉ : L’intendant Nicolas Lamoignon de Basville (1648-1724) réside à Montpellier de 1685 à 1718 dans l’hôtel d’Audessan. Après une description de cet hôtel nous évoquons la jeunesse, les études de Basville, son mariage et ses amitiés parisiennes, puis ses débuts comme avocat au parlement de Paris et sa nomination comme intendant du Poitou. En 1685, il est nommé par le roi intendant du Languedoc à la suite d’Henri d’Aguesseau qui refuse de dragonner les protestants nombreux dans la province. Le roi lui confie comme mission prioritaire d’éradiquer le protestantisme en Languedoc. Basville aura à gérer le difficile conflit de la guerre des camisards et un débarquement anglais à Sète, en 1710. Sur le plan de l’urbanisme et de l’architecture, il supervise la construction de la porte du Peyrou et l’installation de la statue équestre de Louis XIV quelques semaines avant son départ à la retraite en 1718. Mais jusqu’au bout, Basville n’a rien perdu de sa combativité contre les protestants. C’est lui qui a inspiré en 1724, année de sa mort, l’édit de Louis XV redoublant de sévérité vis-à-vis des protestants. L’histoire retiendra surtout la lutte implacable de Basville vis-à-vis des protestants du Languedoc. -
From Oppression to Freedom
FROM OPPRESSION TO FREEDOM John Jay and his Huguenot Heritage The Protestant Reformation changed European history, when it challenged the Roman Catholic Church in the 16th century. John Calvin was a French theologian who led his own branch of the movement. French Protestants were called Huguenots as a derisive Conflict Over the term by Catholics. Protestant Disagreements escalated into a series of religious wars Reformation in seventeenth-century France. Tens of thousands of Huguenots were killed. Finally, the Edict of Nantes was issued in 1598 to end the bloodshed; it established Catholicism as the official religion of France, but granted Protestants the right to worship in their own way. Eighty-seven years later, in 1685, King Louis XIV issued the Edict of Fontainebleau, which reversed the Edict of Nantes, and declared the public practice of Protestantism illegal. Louis regarded religious pluralism as an obstacle to his achieving complete power over the French people. By his order, Huguenot churches were demolished, Huguenot schools were The Revocation of closed, all newborns were required to be baptized as Roman Catholics, and it became illegal for the the Edict of Nantes Protestant laity to emigrate or remove their valuables from France. A View of La Rochelle In La Rochelle, a busy seaport on France’s Atlantic coast, the large population of Huguenot merchants, traders, and artisans there suffered the persecution that followed the edict. Among them was Pierre Jay, an affluent trader, and his family. Pierre’s church was torn down. In order to intimidate him into converting to Catholicism, the government quartered unruly soldiers called dragonnades in his house, to live with him and his family. -
Introduction
Introduction The Other Voice [Monsieur de Voysenon] told [the soldiers] that in the past he had known me to be a good Catholic, but that he could not say whether or not I had remained that way. At that mo- ment arrived an honorable woman who asked them what they wanted to do with me; they told her, “By God, she is a Huguenot who ought to be drowned.” Charlotte Arbaleste Duplessis-Mornay, Memoirs The judge was talking about the people who had been ar- rested and the sorts of disguises they had used. All of this terrified me. But my fear was far greater when both the priest and the judge turned to me and said, “Here is a little rascal who could easily be a Huguenot.” I was very upset to see myself addressed that way. However, I responded with as much firmness as I could, “I can assure you, sir, that I am as much a Catholic as I am a boy.” Anne Marguerite Petit Du Noyer, Memoirs The cover of this book depicting Protestantism as a woman attacked on all sides reproduces the engraving that appears on the frontispiece of the first volume of Élie Benoist’s History of the Edict of Nantes.1 This illustration serves well Benoist’s purpose in writing his massive work, which was to protest both the injustice of revoking an “irrevocable” edict and the oppressive measures accompanying it. It also says much about the Huguenot experience in general, and the experience of Huguenot women in particular. When Benoist undertook the writing of his work, the association between Protestantism and women was not new. -

An Efficient System of Espionage Which, A
ORGANIZA TION OF THE REFORMED CHURCH 27 an efficient system of espionage which, a decade later, smashed the Cinq-Mars conspiracy and incidentally gave Sedan to France; by the creation of provincial intendants in 1637 with overriding financial, judicial and police powers, and responsible to the king and his chief minister alone; and by a steady process of attrition, aided by the sale of offices, which gradually transformed the feudal aristocracy into a noblesse de cour lacking real influence and dependent on the monarchy for continued favours.2 In foreign policy, Richelieu turned the Thirty Years' War into a contest between Bourbon and Hapsburg, and with Protestant help gave France a new Rhine frontier. In the struggle with Spain, the king’s chief officer of state was able to secure the Pyrenees border and gain a foothold in northern Italy.3 This was Mazarin’s inheritance after Richelieu's death in 1642. On the European front, with the aid of the young Conde against the Spaniards at Rocroi and with that of the Protestant Turenne in Germany, he gained for France a leading place in Europe in the years following the Peace of Westphalia in 1648. The war with Spain continued until the Peace of the Pyrenees in 1659, after France, with Cromwell’s support, had successfully invaded the Spanish Netherlands. At this treaty, the Pyrenean border was finally determined and the province of Artois ceded by Spain, thus providing the French with an additional barrier to foreign incursions in the vulnerable north-east.4 At home, Mazarin’s pressing need to finance an aggressive foreign policy sparked off the series of civil wars from 1648 until 1652 known collectively as the Fronde. -
David Garrioch, Protestants and Bourgeois Notability in Eighteenth-Century Paris
Protestants and Bourgeois Notability 1 Protestants and Bourgeois Notability in Eighteenth-Century Paris David Garrioch Until the second half of the seventeenth century, Protestants in Paris participated in many aspects of city life alongside their Catholic peers. They were admitted to the trade guilds and to the learned academies, and many held administrative and venal offices. They served in the Parliament and other leading institutions, and some were accepted in fashionable salons.1 This began to change after Louis XIV’s assumption of personal power in 1661, as the Royal Council progressively excluded Huguenots (as French Reformed Protestants were called) from many occupations, especially the most prestigious ones. The process culminated with the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes in 1685, after which a series of laws denied civil rights to Huguenots and required them to convert to Catholicism. Nearly all the Paris Huguenots, threatened with legal sanctions, arbitrary imprisonment, and with dragonnades like those taking place in the provinces, signed abjurations. Many, however, maintained their Protestant faith in private, praying and reading the Bible within their families. They rarely attended Catholic religious services. Although at first there were periodic attempts to enforce Catholic practice, after 1710 the Paris authorities largely turned a blind eye to the Protestant presence. The police only intervened if there were complaints from Catholics, or what they David Garrioch is Professor of History at Monash University, Australia. He has written on eighteenth- century Paris, on early modern European towns and on the Enlightenment, notably on friendship, philanthropy and cosmopolitanism. His most recent book is The Huguenots of Paris and the Coming of Religious Freedom, 1685-1789 (Cambridge: 2014). -

CHAPTER SIX Roger L’Estrange and the Huguenots: Continental Protestantism and the Church of England1 Anne Dunan-Page, University of Montpellier At the end of October 1680, Roger L’Estrange disappeared from his London home. Traversing muddy roads and wintry seas, he first joined the duke of York in Edinburgh and then set sail for The Hague. There he informed Thomas Ken, the almoner of the Princess of Orange and the future bishop of Bath and Wells, that he intended to take communion at Ken’s Anglican service.2 This was one way to escape charges of crypto-catholicism.3 Another was to make himself scarce. -
Archives Des Consistoires Tt/230 À 276/B
ARCHIVES DES CONSISTOIRES TT/230 à 276/B Inventaire par Édith Thomas et Paul Geisendorf Revu par Brigitte Schmauch Édition 2013 INTRODUCTION Dates : [1317, 1446] 1520-1740. Importance matérielle : 52 articles (environ 20 ml), cotés TT/230 à 276/B. Modalités d’entrée : Prise en charge à la Révolution, avec les archives du secrétariat d’État de la Maison du roi au sein duquel les affaires des protestants – appelés « religionnaires » c'est à dire adeptes de la « religion prétendue réformée » selon l’expression alors utilisée et abrégée en « R. P. R. » – devinrent un bureau en 1749. Conditions d’accès : Consultation sous forme de microfilms. Historique du producteur. La majorité des archives conservées sous ces cotes nous sont parvenues par l’intermédiaire de l’administration royale mais proviennent des églises réformées de France, d’où le nom d’« archives des consistoires » sous lequel on les désigne couramment. L’histoire de ces églises sous l’Ancien Régime s’articule principalement autour de trois dates : 1598 (édit de Nantes), 1685 (révocation de l’édit de Nantes par l’édit de Fontainebleau), 1787 (édit de tolérance). À une période d’expansion informelle de la réforme en France au cours de la première moitié du XVIe s. succède une phase d’institutionnalisation, fondée sur la Discipline votée par le synode de Paris en 1559 et marquée par la mise en place d’églises régulièrement constituées qui se fédèrent sous l’égide de Calvin (organisation dite « synodo-presbytérale »). L’édit de Nantes, promulgué par Henri IV en 1598 pour établir une paix durable entre catholiques et protestants, contingente par ailleurs assez strictement les lieux d’exercice du culte. -

The Bank of England A ROUGH SKETCH By Walter Mucklow “Benk! Benk! Benk!” One evening, when looking over some English newspapers, I could have sworn that I heard this cry as I came across a picture showing the additions which were to be made to the fabric of the Bank of England, and suddenly I felt as if I had been transported three thousand miles, carried backwards for a little more than a generation and all my senses brought successively into intense activity. I could see the crowded streets on a week day, the deserted spaces on a London Sunday. I could taste the smoke of a No vember fog which shut out all sights. I could feel the push of passers-by rushing for a bus. I could smell the pavement on a hot August afternoon. But above all, more insistent than all, I heard the bus conductor standing on his small step, hanging on to his leather strap or slapping the side of the bus with it as a sign to the driver to go on, and calling “Benk! Benk! Benk!” “Newgate, Cheapside, Benk!” “City road, Moorgate street, Benk!” “Bishopgate street, Cornhill, Benk!” From all directions north of the river the bus lines seemed to end at the “benk” and the busses, having reached that terminus, set forth again and used it as a starting point. -
