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.

  • Phylogenetic Relationships and Evolutionary History of the Dental Pattern of Cainotheriidae
    Palaeontologia Electronica palaeo-electronica.org A new Cainotherioidea (Mammalia, Artiodactyla) from Palembert (Quercy, SW France): Phylogenetic relationships and evolutionary history of the dental pattern of Cainotheriidae Romain Weppe, Cécile Blondel, Monique Vianey-Liaud, Thierry Pélissié, and Maëva Judith Orliac ABSTRACT Cainotheriidae are small artiodactyls restricted to Western Europe deposits from the late Eocene to the middle Miocene. From their first occurrence in the fossil record, cainotheriids show a highly derived molar morphology compared to other endemic European artiodactyls, called the “Cainotherium plan”, and the modalities of the emer- gence of this family are still poorly understood. Cainotherioid dental material from the Quercy area (Palembert, France; MP18-MP19) is described in this work and referred to Oxacron courtoisii and to a new “cainotherioid” species. The latter shows an intermedi- ate morphology between the “robiacinid” and the “derived cainotheriid” types. This allows for a better understanding of the evolution of the dental pattern of cainotheriids, and identifies the enlargement and lingual migration of the paraconule of the upper molars as a key driver. A phylogenetic analysis, based on dental characters, retrieves the new taxon as the sister group to the clade including Cainotheriinae and Oxacron- inae. The new taxon represents the earliest offshoot of Cainotheriidae. Romain Weppe.

  • Regards Sur Le Parc Nâ°7
    La détermination de la propriété et les règles de construction Les usages locaux ne sont conservés que dans la mesure où ils complètent les règles du Code civil et ils ne peuvent se substituer à celles-ci. Thème n°7 : Les usages juridiques locaux L'article 646 du Code civil prévoit que chaque propriétaire peut contraindre son voisin à borner leur propriété à frais communs. L'habitude de borner fut assez longue à entrer dans les mœurs, puisque des procès devant les juges de paix sur ce sujet dans le Parc naturel régional se sont multipliés par cinq entre 1803 et 1821. des Causses du Quercy Dans l'ensemble du département, pour planter une borne, on prend une grosse pierre de forme allongée que l'on place en terre jusqu'au deux tiers dans le sens de la ligne divisoire des propriétés. On casse ensuite en deux une pierre plate ou une brique (les témoins) et chaque morceau est mis au fond du creux de chaque côté de la pierre principale. Le droit romain dont dérivait le droit écrit avait pour principe de suivre le plus possible la situation naturelle des lieux. Le Code civil et le Code rural suivent le même cours considérant qu'il convient de contrôler toute intervention, en raison notamment du risque de captation des eaux ou Pour que toute société puisse vivre et se développer, il lui faut des règles, des codes. C'est le cas pour de changement dans leur écoulement. Les usages locaux ne présentent pas de règles particulières.

  • Rocamadour, Quercy
    Rocamadour, Quercy BY PIERRE ON 20 JULY MIDI-PYRÉNÉES, UNESCO SITES, VILLAGES OF FRANCE When coming from Cahors by road, Rocamadour suddenly appears clinging precariously against the cliff above the Alzou canyon. One of the most famous villages of Europe, Rocamadour seemingly defies the laws of gravity. The vertiginous Citadel of Faith is best summed up by an old local saying: “houses on the river, churches on the houses, rocks on the churches, castle on the rock”. In the 12th century, on days of atonement, 30,000 people thronged to Rocamadour to pay tribute to the Black Virgin, amongst them kings, bishops and nobles. Now a village of 693 inhabitants, Rocamadour welcomes 1.5 million visitors each year and ranks as France’s most visited tourist attraction after Mont-Saint-Michel. Rocamadour is situated in the Lot département in Southern France. The village is found at the heart of the Haut-Quercy, a former province of France, between Brive-la-Gaillarde and Cahors. Rocamadour is close to other regional highlights such as Sarlat-la-Canéda in Périgord, the Dordogne Valley, the beautiful villages of Saint-Cirq-Lapopie, Turenne, Collonges-la-Rouge, Carennac and Saint-Céré, and the fantastic caves of Padirac, Lacave, and Perch-Merle.

  • Peter Mcphee, Daily Life in the French Revolution
    Daily Life in the French Revolution 25 Daily Life in the French Revolution* Peter McPhee† The St Jean de Bouisse family was seigneur of the tiny communities of Fraïsse and Montjoi, southwest of Narbonne. In April 1790, Montjoi complained to the revolutionary National Assembly that it had been “enslaved by the tyranny of self- styled seigneurs without titles”; indeed, Bouisse had just made a visit to houses in the village to take the best portions of a recently butchered pig. The mayor of Fraïsse in turn described the Bouisse men: “Four big bodies, uncles and nephews, possessors of imposing physique walking around with four-pound batons, that was the sight which pursued us into our houses ... M de Bouisse, following his old habits, has sworn to plague us to our deaths.” In his defense, the baron could only despair: I have cherished and I still cherish the people of Fraïsse as I have cherished my own children; they were so sweet and so honest in their way, but what a sudden change has taken place among them. All I hear now is corvée, lanternes, démocrates, aristocrates, words which for me are barbaric and which I can’t use… the former vassals believe themselves to be more powerful than Kings.1 There are several layers of meanings that may be teased out of this story. On the most immediate level it is, of course, an example of an outraged noble fulminating against the revolutionary madness that had engulfed his “vassals,” who in turn * Reproduced with the permission of Palgrave Macmillan from Peter McPhee, Living the French Revolution 1789-1799 (London, 2006).

  • The Fossil Insects of the Quercy Region 127
    The Fossil Insects of the Quercy Region 127 Entomologie heute 28 (2016): 127-142 The Fossil Insects of the Quercy Region: A Historical Review Die fossilen Insekten der Quercy Region: eine historische Übersicht ACHIM H. SCHWERMANN, MICHAEL WUTTKE, TOMY DOS SANTOS ROLO, MICHAEL S. CATERINO, GÜNTER BECHLY, HEIKO SCHMIED, TILO BAUMBACH & THOMAS VAN DE KAMP Summary: At the end of the 19th century, numerous mineralized insects from the Paleogene were dis- covered during phosphorite mining in the former province of Quercy in France. Despite their unusual three-dimensional preservation, the Quercy insects received only minor attention from the scientifi c community. During the time of mining, the only detailed study on the subject was provided in 1890 by KARL FLACH, who described two carrion beetle species. More than fi ve decades later, the Swiss entomologist EDUARD HANDSCHIN published the fi rst and hitherto only comprehensive study on the Quercy insects. Unfortunately, his detailed work did not draw the attention of paleoentomologists to these fascinating fossils. More than 70 years after HANDSCHIN’s study, recent examinations provided fascinating new insights into this almost forgotten fossil type. While the descriptions by the early researchers were largely restricted to the external shape of the specimens, X-ray microtomography now permits detailed non-destructive examination of their internal composition. The latest study revealed extraordinarily well-preserved ana- tomical characters in a fossil hister beetle (Histeridae: Onthophilus intermedius Handschin, 1944), which was largely hidden inside a stony matrix. This fi nding suggests that the Quercy specimens constitute a rich but yet largely unexploited source for anatomical data of fossil insects.
