  • William Herle's Report of the Dutch Situation, 1573
    LIVES AND LETTERS, VOL. 1, NO. 1, SPRING 2009 Signs of Intelligence: William Herle’s Report of the Dutch Situation, 1573 On the 11 June 1573 the agent William Herle sent his patron William Cecil, Lord Burghley a lengthy intelligence report of a ‘Discourse’ held with Prince William of Orange, Stadtholder of the Netherlands.∗ Running to fourteen folio manuscript pages, the Discourse records the substance of numerous conversations between Herle and Orange and details Orange’s efforts to persuade Queen Elizabeth to come to the aid of the Dutch against Spanish Habsburg imperial rule. The main thrust of the document exhorts Elizabeth to accept the sovereignty of the Low Countries in order to protect England’s naval interests and lead a league of protestant European rulers against Spain. This essay explores the circumstances surrounding the occasion of the Discourse and the context of the text within Herle’s larger corpus of correspondence. In the process, I will consider the methods by which the study of the material features of manuscripts can lead to a wider consideration of early modern political, secretarial and archival practices. THE CONTEXT By the spring of 1573 the insurrection in the Netherlands against Spanish rule was seven years old. Elizabeth had withdrawn her covert support for the English volunteers aiding the Dutch rebels, and was busy entertaining thoughts of marriage with Henri, Duc d’Alençon, brother to the King of France. Rejecting the idea of French assistance after the massacre of protestants on St Bartholomew’s day in Paris the previous year, William of Orange was considering approaching the protestant rulers of Europe, mostly German Lutheran sovereigns, to form a strong alliance against Spanish Catholic hegemony.

  • Anneke Jans' Maternal Grandfather and Great Grandfather
    Anneke Jans’ Maternal Grandfather and Great Grandfather By RICIGS member, Gene Eiklor I have been writing a book about my father’s ancestors. Anneke Jans is my 10th Great Grandmother, the “Matriarch of New Amsterdam.” I am including part of her story as an Appendix to my book. If it proves out, Anneke Jans would be the granddaughter of Willem I “The Silent” who started the process of making the Netherlands into a republic. Since the records and info about Willem I are in the hands of the royals and government (the Royals are buried at Delft under the tomb of Willem I) I took it upon myself to send the Appendix to Leiden University at Leiden. Leiden University was started by Willem I. An interesting fact is that descendants of Anneke have initiated a number of unsuccessful attempts to recapture Anneke’s land on which Trinity Church in New York is located. In Chapter 2 – Dutch Settlement, page 29, Anneke Jans’ mother was listed as Tryntje (Catherine) Jonas. Each were identified as my father’s ninth and tenth Great Grandmothers, respectively. Since completion of that and succeeding chapters I learned from material shared by cousin Betty Jean Leatherwood that Tryntje’s husband had been identified. From this there is a tentative identification of Anneke’s Grandfather and Great Grandfather. The analysis, the compilation and the writings on these finds were done by John Reynolds Totten. They were reported in The New York Genealogical and Biographical Record, Volume LVI, No. 3, July 1925i and Volume LVII, No. 1, January 1926ii Anneke is often named as the Matriarch of New Amsterdam.

I have spent much of my academic life exploring Huguenot settlement in Britain in the later Stuart period, but have never before been challenged to focus on the specific aspect of Huguenots in relation to English sea port towns. For the purposes of this paper, we can define the Huguenots as French‑speaking Protestants, or more precisely Calvinists, who were fleeing from the France ruled by King Louis XIV from 1661 – when he took up the reins of personal rule – to his death in 1715. A few also came from the Protestant Principality of Orange, which Louis invaded and overran. Two dates stand out as of particular significance in causing Huguenot migration from France in this period. The first was 1681, which saw the onset of the dragonnades, the deliberate billeting of soldiers on Protestant households to force their conversion to Roman Catholicism. The second was the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes in 1685.

  • Germany and the Coming of the French Wars of Religion: Confession, Identity, and Transnational Relations
    Germany and the Coming of the French Wars of Religion: Confession, Identity, and Transnational Relations Jonas A. M. van Tol Doctor of Philosophy University of York History February 2016 Abstract From its inception, the French Wars of Religion was a European phenomenon. The internationality of the conflict is most clearly illustrated by the Protestant princes who engaged militarily in France between 1567 and 1569. Due to the historiographical convention of approaching the French Wars of Religion as a national event, studied almost entirely separate from the history of the German Reformation, its transnational dimension has largely been ignored or misinterpreted. Using ten German Protestant princes as a case study, this thesis investigates the variety of factors that shaped German understandings of the French Wars of Religion and by extension German involvement in France. The princes’ rich and international network of correspondence together with the many German-language pamphlets about the Wars in France provide an insight into the ways in which the conflict was explained, debated, and interpreted. Applying a transnational interpretive framework, this thesis unravels the complex interplay between the personal, local, national, and international influences that together formed an individual’s understanding of the Wars of Religion. These interpretations were rooted in the longstanding personal and cultural connections between France and the Rhineland and strongly influenced by French diplomacy and propaganda. Moreover, they were conditioned by one’s precise position in a number of key religious debates, most notably the question of Lutheran-Reformed relations. These understandings changed as a result of a number pivotal European events that took place in 1566 and 1567 and the conspiracy theories they inspired.

  • John De Witt; Or, Twenty Years' Interregnum in the Stadtholder- 1 Ship of the Seventeenth Century
    1859.] 205 John De Witt; or, Twenty Years' Interregnum in the Stadtholder- 1 ship of the Seventeenth Century. By M. ESQUIROU DE PARIEU, Vice-President of the Imperial Council of State, Member of the Institute of France, &c. &c. (Translated by Frederick Hendriks, Esq., Actuary of the Globe Insurance Company.) [Read before the Academy of Moral and Political Sciences, Session 1858.] T HE history of the United Provinces, and of Holland especially, from the close of the Spanish rule down to the establishment of the modern monarchy of the Netherlands, is distinguished for its manifestation of a permanent struggle between different opposite principles. Liberty and authority, municipal principle and state principle, republic and monarchy, the spirit of federal isolation and that of centralization, appear to give battle to each other upon a territory itself with difficulty defended from the waves of the ocean by the watchful industry of its inhabitants. The municipal element, appears, nevertheless, as the primitive kernel of Dutch society. " The towns of Holland," says a modern historian,2 " were not, like those of other nations, mere sections of the State, for the State itself was rather an aggregation of towns, each of which constituted a distinct republic, providing for its separate defence, governed by its own laws, having its separate courts of justice and separate financial administration. The legis- lative sovereignty of the whole nation vested in the cities, which formed, in their collective capacity, the assembly of the States." The internal administration of these towns was composed of a senate; of two, three, or four burgomasters, constituting what was called the Wethouderschap; and of a certain number of échevins, or sheriffs, who exercised judicial power.

  • English Attitudes Toward Continental Protestants with Particular Reference to Church Briefs C.1680-1740
    English Attitudes toward Continental Protestants with Particular Reference to Church Briefs c.1680-1740 By Sugiko Nishikawa A Dissertation for the degree of Ph. D. in the University of London 1998 B CL LO\D0 UNIV Abstract Title: English Attitudes toward Continental Protestants with Particular Reference to Church Briefs c.1680-1740 Author: Sugiko Nishikawa It has long been accepted that the Catholic threat posed by Louis X1V played an important role in English politics from the late seventeenth century onwards. The expansionist politics of Louis and his attempts to eliminate Protestants within his sphere of influence enhanced the sense of a general crisis of Protestantism in Europe. Moreover news of the persecution of foreign Protestants stimulated a great deal of anti-popish sentiment as well as a sense of the need for Protestant solidarity. The purpose of my studies is to explore how the English perceived the persecution of continental Protestants and to analyse what it meant for the English to be involved in various relief programmes for them from c. 1680 to 1740. Accordingly, I have examined the church briefs which were issued to raise contributions for the relief of continental Protestants, and which serve as evidence of Protestant internationalism against the perceived Catholic threat of the day. I have considered the spectrum of views concerning continental Protestants within the Church; in some attitudes evinced by clergymen, there was an element which might be called ecclesiastical imperialism rather than internationalism. At the same time I have examined laymen's attitudes; this investigation of the activities of the SPCK, one of the most influential voluntary societies of the day, which was closely concerned with continental Protestants, fulfills this purpose.

    A FAURE GENEALOGY: BOOK 7 (OF 8): ANTOINE FAURE’S STORY (1685-1736) by Anthony Gerard FAURE (1926-) THIS BOOK 7 IS PRESENTLY (22.01.2015) BEING REWRITTEN This is Book 6 of a series of 8 e-books on a branch of the FAURE family: 1. Genealogy of a Faure Branch: Book 1: History and 3 Generations after Antoine FAURE (1685-1736). 2. Genealogy of a Faure Branch: Book 2: Descendants of Dr Abraham FAURE (1795-1875). 3. Genealogy of a Faure Branch: Book 3: Descendants of Johannes Gysbertus FAURE (1796-1869). 4. Genealogy of a Faure Branch: Book 4: Descendants of Jacobus Christiaan FAURE (1798-1876). 5. Genealogy of a Faure Branch: Book 5: Descendants of Pieter Hendrik FAURE (1800-1862). 6. Genealogy of a Faure Branch: Book 6: Descendants of Philip Eduard FAURE (1811-1882). 7. Genealogy of a Faure Branch: Book 7: The Story of Antoine FAURE (1685-1736). 8. Genealogy of a Faure Branch: Book 8: Appendices. The reason the information is provided in 8 e-books is that the information is voluminous. We have split the actual family tree into Books 1-6. Book 7 is a beautiful and poignant reconstruction of the lives of Pierre (1636-c1703), and Antoine (1685-1736) who arrived in Cape Town in 1714, as well as the political milieu of the times (offered in the Appendices). It was written by Dr AG (Tony) Faure (1926-) over a number of years, completed in 2012, and revised in 2014. One of the benefits of genealogical research is that it brings one into contact with family members not met before.
