Xerox University Microfilms 900 North Zaab Road Ann Arbor, Michigan 48100 74-10,906 INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help youu ik erstand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain die missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacer t pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating fdjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black bark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy n ay have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You wi I find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite metiod in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is. continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be male from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation. Silver prints of "photographs" may be ordered at additional charge by writing the Older Department, giving the catalog number, title, author and specific pages you wish reproduced. 5.

CONCLUSION TO THE TEXT ............................217 BIBLIOGRAPHY.................... 223 iii CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND In 1616 Theodore Agrlppa d'Aubign6, the sixty-four year old Protestant soldier whose blunt candor and in­ transigence had become legendary during the civil and religious wars that marked French history during the latter half of the sixteenth century, completed two works that were to assure him of literary fame. The first was Lea Traqiques, perhaps the greatest epic poem in French literature. The second was the first volume of his Histoire Universelle, the work which d'Aubign£ considered to be his "grande oeuvre." Valuing the Histoire Universelle above Les Tragiques, d'Aubignd began his history with a dedication proudly addressed to posterity. Later genera­ tions, however, have devoted more critical attention to the Tragiques and to d'Aubign6's other volume of poetry, Le Printemps, than to his prose works, which include not only the Histoire and his memoirs entitled Sa Vie a Ses Enfants (published in 1729) but also several shorter pieces the most notable of which are the fictional Avantures du Baron de Faeneste (1617-1630) and a satire, La Confession du Sieur de Sancy (I960). 1 Past and Present Studies on the Histoire Universelle A first area of investigation in this examination of the Histoire Universelle will be a brief summation of re­ actions to the work from the time of its composition to twentieth century views and criticism of the text. While Brantdme, a voice from the sixteenth century , says in his "Capitaines Illustres” that "d'Aubignd est bon pour la plume et pour le poil, car il est bon capitaine et soldat, trds savant et tr6s eloquent et bien disant s'il en fut onques,"1 it is actually the lack of response to d'Aubignd's history from his contemporaries that is ironically the first significant reaction to be noted. As Geuch;en Ellerbroek puts it: nIls ne s'occupent gu&re de 1'oeuvre: il est vrai que le silence peut aussi Btre un jugement et rarement approbateur. "2 The fact of its publi cation at the end of the second decade of the seventeenth century at a time when the extreme intensity and the emo­ tional involvement of the religious wars had died down is, of course, reason enough to explain this lack of interest 1Pierre de Bourdelle, seigneur de Brantdme, Oeuvres Completes, ed. Ludovic Lalanne (Paris: Chez Mme Renouard, 1865), V, p. 268. *Geuchien Ellerbroek, Observations sur la Lanque de d'Aubigne (Enschede: M. J. Van Der Loeff, 1925), p. 15. in the work of a Protestant partisan dealing essentially with military events between 15G2-1602. One of the very few statements about d'Aubign€ and his history in the seventeenth century is this comment by Charles Sorel in his BibliothSque frangoises Le sieur d'Aubignfi . s'est monstr£ plus partial que tout autre exaltant beaucoup les Huguenots et ne faisant pas assez d'estime des Catholiques. Sur tout on le doit blSnter d'avoir taschd de rendre le Roy Henri III, non seulement ridicule et m6prisable, mais odieux a toute la post£rit&, par les contes qu'il en a faits, comrae celuy du Marchand de Lyon. On peut dire que ce conte et quelques autres qui touchent les Rois et les Princes de la Maison de France ressemblent aux Fictions de quelque Roman Satyrique plGtot qu'a une Histoire. Si on a estime ce livre de d'AubignS, c'est pource que les expeditions de querre y sont assez naivement d€crites, comme par un homme qui estoit du metier . son style brusque et martial a eu le don de plaire a quelques personnes . il avoit 1 'esprit propre a la Satyre; c'est pourquoi ce qu'il falloit moderer dans une Histoire veritable et importante.3 Sorel, interestingly enough, expresses strong reservations about partiality, especially concerning the episode at Lyon in which d'Aubignfi, mentioning similar accounts by two . catholic historians, actually goes to great length to guarantee his credibility. This particulal critique of both Protestant bias and naivete of description might very well represent the reason for much of the seventeenth cen­ tury' s reluctance to consider the Histoire Universelle as a serious work worthy of comment. There is also, however, 3 Quoted by Ellerbroek, p. 15. the important presence of d 'Aubign6'a remarkable grand­ daughter, Mme de Maintenon, who as mistress of Iiouis XIV, a staunch supporter of the Catholic church, was very much embarrassed by her family connections with the reformed religion. One needs very little imagination, of course, to predict the effect such influential embarrassment had on the literary reputation of d'Aubign€ in the seventeenth century, a situation which Harry Sauerwein sums up very well: During the time of his granddaughter, Mme de Main tenon, who shone in the most exalted sphere, many persons would have been employed in collecting the various incidents of his life and presenting him in full luster to the world had not his attachment to the reformed religion been considered, even by her, as a crime that overbalanced all his virtues.4 The eighteenth century, which did not react with any increase of interest to d'Aubigng'B history, produced accordingly very little significant commentary on the work. The only biography of d'AubignS in the century, for ex­ ample, was published in

Department of History The University of British Columbia Vancouver 8, Canada Date March 21, 1968 - ABSTRACT - The purpose of this thesis was to investigate the principal challenges to royal authority and the means by which royal authority was maintained in France during the first War of Religion (1561-1563). The latter half of the sixteenth century was a critical period for the French monarchy. Great noble families attempted to re-establish their feudal power at the expense of the crown. Francis II and Charles IX, kings who were merely boys, succeeded strong monarchs on the throne. The kingdom was im• poverished by foreign wars and overrun by veteran soldiers, ill- absorbed into civil life.

    Late-Medieval France: A Nation under Construction A study of French national identity formation and the emerging of national consciousness, before and during the Hundred Years War, 1200-1453 Job van den Broek MA History of Politics and Society Dr. Christian Wicke Utrecht University 22 June 2020 Word count: 13.738 2 “Ah! Doulce France! Amie, je te lairay briefment”1 -Attributed to Bertrand du Guesclin, 1380 Images on front page: The kings of France, England, Navarre and the duke of Burgundy (as Count of Charolais), as depicted in the Grand Armorial Équestre de la Toison d’Or, 1435- 1438. 1 Cuvelier in Charrière, volume 2, pp 320. ”Ah, sweet France, my friend, I must leave you very soon.” Translation my own. 2 3 Abstract Whether nations and nationalism are ancient or more recent phenomena is one of the core debates of nationalism studies. Since the 1980’s, modernism, claiming that nations are distinctively modern, has been the dominant view. In this thesis, I challenge this dominant view by doing an extensive case-study into late-medieval France, applying modernist definitions and approaches to a pre-modern era. France has by many regarded as one of the ‘founding fathers’ of the club of nations and has a long and rich history and thus makes a case-study for such an endeavour. I start with mapping the field of French identity formation in the thirteenth century, which mostly revolved around the royal court in Paris. With that established, I move on to the Hundred Years War and the consequences of this war for French identity.

  • Jeanne D'albret Was the Most Illustrious Woman of Her Time, and Perhaps One of the Most Illustrious Women in All History
    Jeanne D’Albret (1528 – 1572) Jeanne d'Albret was the most illustrious woman of her time, and perhaps one of the most illustrious women in all history. She was the only daughter of Margaret of Valois, Queen of Navarre (and sister of King Francois 1st), whose genius Jeanne inherited, and whom she surpassed in her gifts of governing, and in her more consistent attachment to the Reformation. Her first husband Germany’s Duke of Cleves, to whom she was forced to wed at the age of 12 in 1541, no more consummated the marriage than placing his foot in her bed. Her fine intellect, elevated soul, and deep piety were unequally yoked with Anthony de Bourbon, her second husband in 1549, a man of humane dispositions, but of low tastes, indolent habits, and of paltry character. His marriage with Jeanne d'Albret brought him the title of King of Arragon, whose usurpation was confirmed by Pope Julius II, so King of Navarre; but his wife was a woman of too much sense, and her dominions were restricted to that portion of the ancient Navarre cherished too enlightened a regard for the welfare of her subjects, to which lay on the French side of the Pyrenees. give him more than the title. She took care not to entrust him with the reins of government. "Unstable as water," he spent his life in traveling In 1560, we have said, Jeanne d'Albret made open profession of the between the two camps, the Protestant and the Popish, unable long Protestant faith. In 1563 came her famous edict, dated from her to adhere to either, and heartily despised by both.

  • 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.

HISTORICAL CALENDARS, COMMEMORATIVE PROCESSIONS AND THE RECOLLECTION OF THE WARS OF RELIGION DURING THE ANCIEN RÉGIME PHILIP BENEDICT * Abstract — In the centuries that followed the Edict of Nantes, a number of texts and rituals preserved partisan historical recollections of episodes from the Wars of Religion. One important Huguenot ‘ site of memory ’ was the historical calendar. The calendars published between 1590 and 1685 displayed a particular concern with the Wars of Religion, recalling events that illustrated Protestant victimization and Catholic sedition. One important Catholic site of memory was the commemorative procession. Ten or more cities staged annual processions throughout the ancien régime thanking God for delivering them from the violent, sacrilegious Huguenots during the civil wars. If, shortly after the Fronde, you happened to purchase at the temple of Charenton a 1652 edition of the Psalms of David published by Pierre Des-Hayes, you also received at the front of the book a twelve-page historical calendar listing 127 noteworthy events that took place on selected days of the year. 1 Seven of the entries in this calendar came from sacred history and told you such dates as when the tablets of the Law were handed down on Mount Sinai (5 June) or when John the Baptist received the ambassador sent from Jerusalem mentioned in John 1.19 (1 January).

The Faux pas of a Vert Galant: The Historiography of Henry IV's Military Leadership Annette Finley-Croswhite* Old Dominion University Henry IV is one of the few historical figures whose military reputation rests on the fact that he operated successfully during the course of his life at all definable levels of military command: as a soldier and partisan leader, a battlefield tactician, a campaigner, and a national strategist. He fought in over two hundred engagements, never lost a battle, and was the major victor in four landmark battles. Nevertheless, until recently most judgments by French, British, and American historians, scholars like Pierre de Vaissière, Sir Charles Oman, Lynn Montross, and David Buisseret, have portrayed Henry IV not as a great military commander, but as a risk-taking opportunist, always the Vert Galant in the guise of a skilled tactician and cavalryman.
