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.

  • Prostitution in Bristol and Nantes, 1750-1815: a Comparative Study
    Prostitution in Bristol and Nantes, 1750-1815: A comparative study Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor in Philosophy at the University of Leicester Marion Pluskota Centre for Urban History University of Leicester July 2011 Abstract This thesis is centred on prostitution in Nantes and Bristol, two port cities in France and England, between 1750 and 1815. The objectives of this research are fourfold: first, to understand the socio-economic characteristics of prostitution in these two port cities. Secondly, it aims to identify the similarities and the differences between Nantes and Bristol in the treatment of prostitution and in the evolution of mentalités by highlighting the local responses to prostitution. The third objective is to analyse the network of prostitution, in other words the relations prostitutes had with their family, the tenants of public houses, the lodging-keepers and the agents of the law to demonstrate if the women were living in a state of dependency. Finally, the geography of prostitution and its evolution between 1750 and 1815 is studied and put into perspective with the socio- economic context of the different districts to explain the spatial distribution of prostitutes in these two port cities. The methodology used relies on a comparative approach based on a vast corpus of archives, which notably includes judicial archives and newspapers. Qualitative and quantitative research allows the construction of relational databases, which highlight similar patterns of prostitution in both cities. When data is missing and a strict comparison between Nantes and Bristol is made impossible, extrapolations and comparisons with studies on different cities are used to draw subsequent conclusions.

  • Inventaire De L'offre De Formation Et D'apprentissage Du Français En Mayenne
    Inventaire de l'offre de formation et d'apprentissage du Français en Mayenne Direction régionale et départementale de la jeunesse, des sports et de la cohésion sociale des Pays de la Loire 2016 Présentation Depuis plusieurs années, discours publics et dispositions législatives situent la connaissance de la langue française comme un enjeu fort d’intégration et de lutte contre l’exclusion des populations étrangères ou issues de l’immigration. Aux côtés de formations linguistiques s’inscrivant dans le cadre du Contrat d'Intégration Républicaine* (ex Contrat d’Accueil et d’Intégration), de nombreuses actions sont également développées par des acteurs de proximité. Elles s’adressent à ces mêmes populations mais aussi, par extension, à toute personne que des difficultés de communication et de maîtrise de la langue rendent fragiles et vulnérables dans un certain nombre de situations sociales, éducatives, professionnelles. L’ensemble de ces actions aux formes et pédagogies variées (ateliers de socialisation linguistique, formation linguistique : alphabétisation, Français langue étrangère …), sont portées par un large panel d’associations, d’équipements municipaux, d’organismes de formations, par l'Université et l'Education Nationale. Dans ce cadre, la Direction régionale et départementale de la jeunesse, des sports et de la cohésion sociale (DRDJSCS) des Pays de la Loire a réalisé un inventaire de l’offre de formation et d’apprentissage du français. Cet inventaire est présenté ici à l'échelle départementale. Il doit permettre de faciliter une meilleure orientation des publics mais également favoriser la coopération entre les acteurs du territoire mobilisés par la question de l’intégration et de la lutte contre l’exclusion des populations étrangères ou issues de l’immigration.

  • Spanish and Portuguese Women in French Cities, 1500–1650
    THE PRICE OF ASSIMILATION: SPANISH AND PORTUGUESE WOMEN IN FRENCH CITIES, 1500–1650 Gayle Brunelle Introduction Between 1480 and 1575 several waves of Spanish immigrants, most of them merchants and many of them of converso (converted Jewish) heritage, settled in France, especially in cities engaged in Atlantic trade such as Rouen and Nantes. Many of these Spanish merchants began their careers in France as factors of the great wool trading families of Castile. Within a generation or two, these merchants branched out to many other areas of commerce, including trade with the Low Countries, Africa, and the New World.1 Scholars of the Spanish immigrants in France during the six- teenth century such as Michel Mollat and Henri Lapeyre tend to assert that the Spaniards crossed the boundaries of community with ease and were absorbed into Northern French society relatively quickly, within a generation or two.2 Between 1560 and 1660, meanwhile, a new wave of Iberian migrants began to arrive in France in significant numbers. These too were mostly merchants, the great majority from converso families. They were known as “Portuguese” in France even though only a minority of these mer- chants were actually of Portuguese ancestry, the rest being descendants of Sephardic Jews forcibly converted in Portugal between 1495 and 1530, or Spanish Jews who fled to Portugal for refuge after the 1492 expulsion 1 Gayle K.
