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.

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.

  • 110 Fire and Sword in 1354
    110 Fire and Sword In 1354 - 1355 Edward and his court wavered between optimism that a negotiated settlement was within their grasp - and determination to continue to prosecute the war. The Treaty of Guines looked to have given Edward more than he could have hoped for - Aquitaine, Anjou and Calais in return for peace and the renunciation of his claims. But in the end it was to be war again. The Black Prince started things off with the Great Chevaucee. The Great Chevaucee The Black Prince gained his first independent command, appointed by his father to the province of Gascony. He was to spend much of his life there, and his son and heir would be born in Bordeaux. His first campaign showed that the early promise of Crecy was to be fulfilled - a daring raid across southern France right across to the Mediterranean, while the French watched incapable of stopping him. The Chevaucee gained no territory. But it exposed the weakness of French arms; it took the wealth of the south away from King John while they rebuilt their defences, and established a fearsome reputation for the Prince.

  • History of the Crusades. Episode 137. the Crusade Against the Cathars
    History of the Crusades. Episode 137. The Crusade Against the Cathars. The Invasion of Agenais. Hello again. Last week we saw Simon de Montfort besiege and defeat two separate towns, the town of Hautpol and the town of Saint-Antonin. While the sieges were relatively minor events in the context of the Crusade as a whole, they were witnessed by Peter the Monk who relayed them in great detail in his chronicle of the Crusade, the "Historia Albigensis". Fresh from these victories and with two armies under his control, one in the north and the other under the command of his brother Guy in the Count of Foix's lands to the south, Simon de Montfort decides to march his army to the northwest, into the Agenais region. Now, from a Crusading point of view and from a geopolitical point of view, this was an interesting move. The Agenais region was traditionally Plantagenet territory and had only come under the control of the Count of Toulouse relatively recently. As such, it didn't really have a Cathar problem. While there may have been the odd practicing Cathar here and there, it was pretty much acknowledged by the Crusaders that the region held no Cathar Perfect, and really there weren't any heretics in any significant numbers to vanquish. The region had been gifted to the Count of Toulouse by Richard the Lionheart when he married Richard's sister Joanna back in 1196. The current feudal overlord of the region was the English King, King John, so Simon de Montfort is going to be treading on some pretty distinguished toes by invading the region with his army.

  • The Hundred Years War Pdf, Epub, Ebook
    THE HUNDRED YEARS WAR PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Prof. Anne Curry | 96 pages | 13 Nov 2002 | Bloomsbury Publishing PLC | 9781841762692 | English | New York, United Kingdom The Hundred Years War PDF Book Amid all of the twists and turns of war and diplomacy, Sumption's wonderfully measured prose is judiciously spiced by sharply observed, poignant, and amusing snapshots. Du Guesclin, who according to chronicler Jean Froissart , had advised the French king not to engage the English in the field and was successful in these Fabian tactics, though in the only two major battles he fought in at Auray in Brittany in and Najera in Spain three years later he was on the losing side and was captured on both occasions. The consequences of these new weapons meant that the nobility was no longer the deciding factor in battle; peasants armed with longbows or firearms could gain access to the power, rewards and prestige once reserved only for knights who bore arms. By , as a result of the successful campaigns there of his brother Charles, count of Valois , and his cousin Robert II of Artois, Philip had become the effective master of almost the whole duchy. Tactically, the disparity lay with the French. Henry formally entered Paris later that year and the agreement was ratified by the French Estates-General parliament. It is difficult to see that anyone could do this type of history better than Sumption. Introduction to the Postwar Era — Introduction to the Gilded Age and the Progressive Era. Until this time, Philip had undertaken a strategy that forced the English into retreat when he would not meet in battle on English terms.

  • Peasant Revolts During the French Wars of Religion (A Socio-Economic Comparative Study)
    PEASANT REVOLTS DURING THE FRENCH WARS OF RELIGION (A SOCIO-ECONOMIC COMPARATIVE STUDY) By Emad Afkham Submitted to Central European University Department of History In partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Supervisor: Professor Laszlo Kontler Second Reader: Professor Matthias Riedl CEU eTD Collection Budapest, Hungary 2016 Copyright in the text of this thesis rests with the Author. Copies by any process, either in full or part, may be made only in accordance with the instructions given by the Author and lodged in the Central European Library. Details may be obtained from the librarian. This page must form a part of any such copies made. Further copies made in accordance with such instructions may not be made without the written permission of the Author. CEU eTD Collection I ABSTRACT The present thesis examines three waves of the peasant revolts in France, during the French Wars of Religion. The first wave of the peasant revolts happened in southwest France in Provence, Dauphiné, and Languedoc: the second wave happened in northern France in Normandy, Brittany and Burgundy and the last one happened in western France Périgord, Limousin, Saintonge, Angoumois, Poitou, Agenais, Marche and Quercy and the whole of Guyenne. The thesis argues that the main reason for happening the widespread peasant revolts during the civil wars was due to the fundamental destruction of the countryside and the devastation of the peasant economy. The destruction of the peasant economy meant the everyday life of the peasants blocked to continue. It also keeps in the background the relationship between the incomprehensive gradual changing in the world economy in the course of the sixteenth century.

  • Frenchmen Into Peasants: Modernity and Tradition in the Peopling of French North America
    Frenchmen into Peasants: Modernity and Tradition in the Peopling of French North America LESLIE CHOQUETTE F THE TITLE of this essay seems famihar, that is because it was inspired by a well-known study by Eugen Weber, Peasants I into Frenchmen: The Modernization of Rural France, 1870-1^14. Weber argues in that work that in the late nineteenth century, peasants from the most primitive and isolated parts of France gradually became acculturated into full-fledged citizens of the modem French state.' Weber's title has been inverted here, for in many ways the record of the peophng of French North America is a record of exactly the same process, but in reverse. That is, the original emigrants were people from the most modem, dynamic, and outwardly turned parts of France, yet they founded a French Canada that until the 1960s was a counter-revolutionary's dream: rural, hierarchical, Cathohc, a pecuhar New World vestige of the The author would like to thank Professor Bernard Bailyn and the participants in the New England Seminar in American History and the Charles Warren Center Seminar for their insightful comments on an earlier version of this article. I. Eugen Weber, Peasants into Frenchmen: The Modernization of Rural Frarue, i8yo-ipi4 (Stanford: Stanford University Press, 1976). Peasants, as defined by Weber, are country folk whose labors serve primarily to assure their own subsistence. By modernization, he means 'the passage from relative isolation and a relatively closed economy to union with the outside world' through communications and a money economy (p. xii). This process has implications, not only for material conditions, but also for mentalities and political awareness.
