RESEARCHING HUGUENOT SETTLERS IN IRELAND1 VIVIEN COSTELLO PREAMBLE This study is a genealogical research guide to French Protestant refugee settlers in Ireland, c. 1660–1760. It reassesses Irish Huguenot settlements in the light of new findings and provides a background historical framework. A comprehensive select bibliography is included. While there is no formal listing of manuscript sources, many key documents are cited in the footnotes. This work covers only French Huguenots; other Protestant Stranger immigrant groups, such as German Palatines and the Swiss watchmakers of New Geneva, are not featured. INTRODUCTION Protestantism in France2 In mainland Europe during the early sixteenth century, theologians such as Martin Luther and John Calvin called for an end to the many forms of corruption that had developed within the Roman Catholic Church. When their demands were ignored, they and their followers ceased to accept the authority of the Pope and set up independent Protestant churches instead. Bitter religious strife throughout much of Europe ensued. In France, a Catholic-versus-Protestant civil war was waged intermittently throughout the second half of the sixteenth century, followed by ever-increasing curbs on Protestant civil and religious liberties.3 The majority of French Protestants, nicknamed Huguenots,4 were followers of Calvin.

Volume 13 Number 078 Fronde, Early Modern French Social Revolt – I
Volume 13 Number 078 Fronde, Early Modern French Social Revolt – I Lead: From 1648 through 1653, early modern French society was in turmoil that in its various phases was known as the Fronde. Intro.: A Moment in Time with Dan Roberts. Content: The Fronde is a “slingshot” a device with which the urban French broke the windows of the city and the status quo of early modern France. It was both the symbol and the name of the mayhem that gripped France late in the transition years between the death of Louis XIII and the consolidation of power by his son King Louis XIV, the Sun-King. For the sake of clarity some scholars have divided the period into three distinct outbursts, the Fronde Parlementaire, the royal family Fronde, and the religious Fronde, but in reality the Frondes constituted a far more complex phenomenon. They animated a variety of resistive impulses and directed open public anger and rebellion against the oligarchic institutions of French society, but most especially, the absolutist tendencies of the monarchy. The Frondes struck out against a monarchy that was reaching for absolute power, authority without constitutional or social restraint. As late as the high medieval period, the French monarch was pretty much a joke with little direct power beyond Domaine Royal, the lands he actually controlled. In an era when land was power, the French monarch was relatively weak, often holding less land than some of his vassals, France’s most powerful nobles. This began to change in the 1400s and by 1600 the power of the French monarch was formidable.

Statecraft and Insect Oeconomies in the Global French Enlightenment (1670-1815)
Statecraft and Insect Oeconomies in the Global French Enlightenment (1670-1815) Pierre-Etienne Stockland Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2018 © 2017 Etienne Stockland All rights reserved ABSTRACT Statecraft and Insect Oeconomies in the Global French Enlightenment (1670-1815) Pierre-Etienne Stockland Naturalists, state administrators and farmers in France and its colonies developed a myriad set of techniques over the course of the long eighteenth century to manage the circulation of useful and harmful insects. The development of normative protocols for classifying, depicting and observing insects provided a set of common tools and techniques for identifying and tracking useful and harmful insects across great distances. Administrative techniques for containing the movement of harmful insects such as quarantine, grain processing and fumigation developed at the intersection of science and statecraft, through the collaborative efforts of diplomats, state administrators, naturalists and chemical practitioners. The introduction of insectivorous animals into French colonies besieged by harmful insects was envisioned as strategy for restoring providential balance within environments suffering from human-induced disequilibria. Naturalists, administrators, and agricultural improvers also collaborated in projects to maximize the production of useful substances secreted by insects, namely silk, dyes and medicines. A study of

Some pages have indistinct print. Filmed as received. UNIVERSITY MICROFILMS PREFACE The number of studies which have been undertaken with regard to the southwestern dialects of the langue d'oi'l area is astonishingly small. Most deal with diachronic considerations. As for the dialect of Saintonge only a few articles are available. This whole area, which until a few generations ago contained a variety of apparently closely related patois or dialects— such as Aunisian, Saintongeais, and others in Lower Poitou— , is today for the most part devoid of them. All traces of a local speech have now’ disappeared from Aunis. And in Saintonge, patois speakers are very limited as to their number even in the most remote villages. The present study consists of three distinct and unequal phases: one pertaining to the discovering and gethering of an adequate sample of Saintongeais patois, as it is spoken today* another presenting a synchronic analysis of its most pertinent features; and, finally, one attempting to interpret the results of this analysis in the light of time and area dimensions.

McCLOY THE NEGRO IN FRANCE UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY PRESS Copyright© 1961 by the University of Kentucky Press Printed in the United States of America by the Division of Printing, University of Kentucky Library of Congress Catalog Card No. 61-6554 FOREWORD THE PURPOSE of this study is to present a history of the Negro who has come to France, the reasons for his coming, the record of his stay, and the reactions of the French to his presence. It is not a study of the Negro in the French colonies or of colonial conditions, for that is a different story. Occasion ally, however, reference to colonial happenings is brought in as necessary to set forth the background. The author has tried assiduously to restrict his attention to those of whose Negroid blood he could be certain, but whenever the distinction has been significant, he has considered as mulattoes all those having any mixture of Negro and white blood.

Cape Settlers II: from the Rhone to the Atlantic
CHAPTER SIX Cape settlers II: from the Rhone to the Atlantic The second region to be discussed in this survey of the origins of French-speaking settlers at the Cape covers a wide area. It is bounded on the west by the Atlantic coast facing the Bay of Biscay from south ern Brittany to the Spanish frontier; to the south by the mountain barrier of the Pyrenees and the Lion Gulf of the Mediterranean Sea as far as the western edge of the Rhone delta. This river, with its tributary the Saone to Thoissey, south of Macon, represents, with one small deviation, the eastern boundary, while to the north and north-east the Loire provides an approximate line of demarcation, extended along the south-western border of Burgundy. The provinces through which the Loire flows in its westward course have been discussed in the previous chapter; that part of the Nivernais which lies on the left bank of the river is also excluded here. In the north and north-east of the region lie the former provinces of 140 CHAPTER SIX Poitou, Berry and the Bourbonnais; to the east is the Lyonnais, strad dling the river boundary at Lyons. The central provinces are Auvergne, Limousin and Marche. Midway along the Atlantic coast, from the northern shore of the Gironde estuary to the mouth of the Sevre niortais above La Rochelle, are Saintonge and the Pays d'Aunis, with the Angoumois behind them. The lands of Languedoc, including Velay, Gevaudan and the Vivarais, are situated in the south-east, with the country of Foix and a late acquisition, Roussillon, won from Spain in 1659, to the south.
