In many regions of France, Protestant seigneurs contributed to a stable and growing economy of their regions or ancient provinces of France. Unfortunately due to persecutions of Protestant families in France, many of these Protestant seigneurs simply left their native France and re-settled in many countries of the world. The following pages are organized according to the ancient regions or provinces of France (the period prior to the French Revolution 1789-1799). I have reproduced URL addresses of online books and societies that address in part who were these Protestant seigneurs during the Old Regime of France. Most of these texts are in the French language. They are superb works addressing the aristocratic families of France, both Catholics and Protestants. But I did not forget the working class of France during these periods of time of the Old Regime. At the conclusion of each section, I have reproduced URL addresses of the most common family names within a particular département (modern-day state of France) and within an ancient province of France. Researching Protestant families (Huguenots, Calvinists, members of the Église réformée de France) of France prior to the French Revolution is highly difficult or in some cases nearly impossible. The reasons are multiple, the primary reason being that many, if not most, Protestant Temples of France under the Old Regime were demolished and church registers, including acts of baptism and marriage.were destroyed by fire. But you are willing to scrutinize in detail the content of the many URL addresses reproduced in the following pages and take the proper steps in order to solve the French language issue, you can find traces of your Huguenot ancestors. You might not find an actual act of baptism or marriage, but if you are persistent, you may at least succeed in locating your family name in a commune of France. One final suggestion: your current family name might not have the same spelling in the 16th, 17th, 18th centuries of France. A number of online family names search engines (Patronymes) in France will suggest alternatives to the spelling of your present time family name.

Alsace was formed in 870 as a province of Germany – In 1354, the city of Strasbourg would become a free entity – During the war of 1618-1648, known as the War of 30 Years, the region of Habsbourg was allocated to France – 1681, the region of Strasbourg would join France – 1871 – Germany would take over most of Alsace and a large portion of Lorraine with the exception of the territory of Belfort – 1918, Alsace would be allocated once more to France. https://genealogyensemble.files.wordpress.com/2018/05/huguenot-families- in-france-1565-1721.pdf https://genealogyensemble.files.wordpress.com/2018/05/archives- dc3a9partementales-de-france-revision-2018-04-16.pdf http://www.archivesnationales.culture.gouv.fr/chan/chan/fonds/consistoire s-serie-tt.pdf https://www.familysearch.org/search/collection/1582585?collectionNameFil ter=false http://catalogue.bnf.fr/changerPage.do?motRecherche=&index=TOUS3&nu mNotice=13591055&nbResultParPage=10&afficheRegroup=false&affinageA ctif=false&pageEnCours=1&nbPage=14&trouveDansFiltre=NoticePUB&triRe sultParPage=5&typeNotice=d http://books.openedition.org/pur/18106 http://www.shase.org/telechargement/Repertoire94-98.pdf http://www.shase.org/telechargement/Repertoire38-78.pdf http://docplayer.fr/26079652-Parc-du-chateau-bp-saverne-cedex.html https://fr.informationvine.com/index?qsrc=999&qo=semQuery&ad=semD&o =605533&l=sem&askid=46564dcd-80db-40c3-8696-e474057ed4b4-0-

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.

Celui-ci donne une image précise de la situation économique et fiscale de l’Agenais juste avant le grand mouvement de repeuplement et de « reconstruction » de ce pays de moyenne Garonne, tout particulièrement des terres qui relèvent directement du pouvoir royal. Il révèle non seulement une situation économique contrastée et offre également, en filigrane, une image intéressante des rapports de pouvoir qui se jouent entre le pouvoir royal, ses agents et les seigneurs de l’Agenais, ces derniers pouvant en même temps être les détenteurs d’un office royal.

  • About Fanjeaux, France Perched on the Crest of a Hill in Southwestern
    About Fanjeaux, France Perched on the crest of a hill in Southwestern France, Fanjeaux is a peaceful agricultural community that traces its origins back to the Romans. According to local legend, a Roman temple to Jupiter was located where the parish church now stands. Thus the name of the town proudly reflects its Roman heritage– Fanum (temple) Jovis (Jupiter). It is hard to imagine that this sleepy little town with only 900 inhabitants was a busy commercial and social center of 3,000 people during the time of Saint Dominic. When he arrived on foot with the Bishop of Osma in 1206, Fanjeaux’s narrow streets must have been filled with peddlers, pilgrims, farmers and even soldiers. The women would gather to wash their clothes on the stones at the edge of a spring where a washing place still stands today. The church we see today had not yet been built. According to the inscription on a stone on the south facing outer wall, the church was constructed between 1278 and 1281, after Saint Dominic’s death. You should take a walk to see the church after dark when its octagonal bell tower and stone spire, crowned with an orb, are illuminated by warm orange lights. This thick-walled, rectangular stone church is an example of the local Romanesque style and has an early Gothic front portal or door (the rounded Romanesque arch is slightly pointed at the top). The interior of the church was modernized in the 18th century and is Baroque in style, but the church still houses unusual reliquaries and statues from the 13th through 16th centuries.

  • Millet Oppidum English
    Château de Millet just situated outside the town of Eauze in the Gers. Devoted to mixed farming and the production of Armagnac, the estate today has 50 hectares of vines for the production of Côtes de Gascogne wines « Domaine de Millet ». The vines enjoy a north westernly position on the green hills of Eauze where the soil alternates between clay limestone and the sandy soils known as 'sables fauves'. Francis Dèche, the proprietor, who follows in the footsteps of five generations has a policy of quality : traditional grape varieties, vineyard cultivation with respect to the environment and constant development in the methods and means of vinification. With his daughter Laurence, who joined him in 1999, they sell a full and varied range that are just waiting to be discovered ! At Millet, the land and its relief tells a story of the history of man . The ruins of a pre-roman oppidum, the currencies and the amphoras discovered near to the vineyard are witnesses of the past. Before building the town of st Elusa in the 1 Century of this era, known today as Eauze, the Elusate people that lived here, learnt how to cultivate vines and appreciate wine from the Romans. OPPIDUM 2007 50% chardonnay, 50% sauvignon The vinification The two grape varieties are vinified separately then blended together and kept in tanks for 6 months. This wine is very original in style with a multitude of nuances that merge to give a surprising floral and spicy flavour . Tasting Notes -White mid dry wine, light in colour with golden yellow highlights -Intense and seductive bouquet with a concentration in floral notes, exotic fruits and soft spice.

  • Isabelle Hainaut, Queen of France
    Pg 1 Isabelle of Hainaut Born: 5 Apr 1170 Valcenciennes, FRA Married: King Philippe II of France Died: 15 Mar 1190 Paris, FRA Parents: Baldwin V, Count of Hainaut & Countess Margaret of Flanders Isabelle of Hainaut (5 April 1170, Valenciennes - 15 March 1190, Paris) was queen consort of France. Isabelle was born in Valenciennes,on 5 April 1170 the daughter of Baldwin V, Count of Hainaut and Countess Margaret I of Flanders. She married King Philip II of France on 28 April 1180 at Bapaume and brought as her dowry the county of Artois. The marriage was arranged by her maternal uncle Count Philip of Alsace who was advisor to the King.[2] Isabelle was crowned consort of France at Saint Denis on 28 May 1180. As Baldwin V rightly claimed to be a descendant of Charlemagne, the chroniclers of the time saw in this marriage a union of the Carolingian and Capetian dynasties. Though she received extravagant praise from certain annalists, she failed to win the affections of Philip due to her inability to provide him with an heir. Meanwhile, King Philip in 1184, was waging war against Flanders, and angered at seeing Baldwin support his enemies, he called a council at Sens for the purpose of repudiating her. Robert, the king's uncle, successfully interposed. Finally, on 5 September 1187, she gave birth to the needed heir, the future King Louis VIII of France. Her second pregnancy, was extremely difficult; on 14 March 1190, Isabelle gave birth to twin sons. Due to complications in childbirth, Isabelle died the next day, and was buried in the cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris.
