HISTORICAL CALENDARS, COMMEMORATIVE PROCESSIONS AND THE RECOLLECTION OF THE WARS OF RELIGION DURING THE ANCIEN RÉGIME PHILIP BENEDICT * Abstract — In the centuries that followed the Edict of Nantes, a number of texts and rituals preserved partisan historical recollections of episodes from the Wars of Religion. One important Huguenot ‘ site of memory ’ was the historical calendar. The calendars published between 1590 and 1685 displayed a particular concern with the Wars of Religion, recalling events that illustrated Protestant victimization and Catholic sedition. One important Catholic site of memory was the commemorative procession. Ten or more cities staged annual processions throughout the ancien régime thanking God for delivering them from the violent, sacrilegious Huguenots during the civil wars. If, shortly after the Fronde, you happened to purchase at the temple of Charenton a 1652 edition of the Psalms of David published by Pierre Des-Hayes, you also received at the front of the book a twelve-page historical calendar listing 127 noteworthy events that took place on selected days of the year. 1 Seven of the entries in this calendar came from sacred history and told you such dates as when the tablets of the Law were handed down on Mount Sinai (5 June) or when John the Baptist received the ambassador sent from Jerusalem mentioned in John 1.19 (1 January).

Vermin, who were caught in snares that they had dared to set for your faithful subjects. Oh favorable night! Hour most desirable in which we placed our hope. 1 Michel de Roigny, On the St. Bartholomew’s Day Massacre, 1572 The level of sectarian violence that erupted in Reformation France was extraordinary. Otherwise ordinary Catholics tortured their Huguenot neighbors to death and then afterwards mutilated their corpses, sometimes feeding the disfigured remains to farm animals. Catholic children elicited applause from their coreligionists as they killed adult Huguenots by tearing them to pieces. Huguenots assaulted Catholic priests during the Mass, pillaged Catholic churches, and desecrated the Host. Indeed, as the sectarian duel increased in frequency and intensity, a man could be killed for calling someone a Huguenot; both sides used religion to rationalize the assassinations of dukes and kings.

  • 1593-1610 Presented to the Graduate Council of the North Texas State
    379 THE CATHOLIC HENRI IV AND THE PAPACY 1593-1610 THESIS Presented to the Graduate Council of the North Texas State University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of I MASTER OF ARTS By William Jackson Fling, III, B. A. Denton, Texas August, 1977 I/7 Fling, William J., III, The Catholic Henri IV and the Papacy 1593-1610. Master of Arts (History), August, 1977, 130 pp., bibliography, 40 titles. This study explores Franco-Papal relations, and their effect on the French Church and State, from Henri IV's conver- sion to Roman Catholicism in 1593 until his death in 1610. Because Henri IV's primary concern, even in matters involving the Papacy or the Gallican Church, was to protect his kingdom from Habsburg encroachment, he was willing either to abandon his Protestant allies abroad, or to adopt reform measures, such as the decrees of the Council of Trent, that might weaken his own authority or disturb the peace of his kingdom. This caused repeated conflicts with the Counter-Reformation Popes Clement VIII and Paul V, to whom the primary enemy was always the infidel and the heretic. Nevertheless both sides realized that they needed each other to maintain their independence of Spain. TABLE OF CONTENTS Page INTRODUCTION ................ .*................. 1 Chapter I.

  • Chapter Four
    Chapter Four Religious persecution Burke’s General Armoury says that the Tyzacks, Henzeys and Tytterys were all refugees, most likely this meant Huguenot refugees. The evidence for this, certainly for the Thysacs, is sketchy and comes from the middle of the sixteenth century. Although some glassworkers were Huguenots, it would be wrong to assume all were. Indeed the records show that there were persons pursuing either religion among them. As several edicts banished "persons of the reformed religion", it is probable that those who emigrated included more of such adherents. Among the documents found, several mention this subject, the following eight items are examples: 1. At the main glasshouse of Belrupt, Charles Hennezel, the principal partner of Charles Tisal (Thysac), sought asylum outside of Lorraine for reasons of religion. In 1570 he ran the estate of Essouaivre, near to Montbéliard. Today this is near the Swiss border. From there he went to Picardie. The same piece tells that Guillaume du Houx was a skilled " glassworker of small glasses who remained at Belrupt. He purchased Belrupt from Charles, the glassworker of window glass, who, because of his religion, quit the Lorraine." (mss Lorraine 60 folio 219 to 223) 2. A piece about the "Grande Catherine" glassworks, tells that, Catherine Thysac was converted to Protestantism and gave her name to the glassworks of the "Grande -Catherine". This name of "Grande - Catherine" appeared in 1532, in an identification of the boundaries of the Lordship of Passavant. It was substituted for the former name of "Patrenostrière". The piece also tells that until 1572, makers of window glass still operated the Grand Catherine, but then the principal owner, M.

  • The Huguenots and Henry of Navarre, Vol. 1
    THE HUGUENOTS aND Henry of Navarre by HENRY MTBAIRD PROFESSOR IN THE UNIVERSITY OP THE CITY OP NEW YORK ; AUTHOR OP THE HISTORY OP THE RISE OF THE HUGUENOTS OF FRANCE WITH MAPS VOL. I. NEW YORK CHARLES SCRIBNER'S SONS 1886 THE HUGUENOTS AND HENRY OF NAVARRE Copyright, 188«, by CHARLES SCRIBNER'S SONS PREFACE. In the History of the Rise of the Huguenots I attempted to trace the progress of the Protestant party in France from the feeble and obscure beginnings of the Reformation to the close of the reign of Charles the Ninth ; when, by reason of heroic struggles, and of the fortitude wherewith persecution and treach ery had been endured, the Huguenots had gained an enviable place in the respect and admiration of Christendom. In the present work I have undertaken to portray the subsequent fort unes of the same valiant people, through a period not less critical and not less replete with varied and exciting incident, down to the formal recognition of their inalienable rights of conscience in a fundamental law of the kingdom, declared to be perpetual and irrevocable. As the Massacre of St. Bartholo mew's Day constituted the most thrilling occurrence related in the former volumes, so in the volumes now offered to the public the promulgation of the Edict of Nantes is the event toward which the action throughout tends, and in relation to which even transactions of little weight in themselves assume importance. A conflict persistently maintained in vindication of an essential principle of morals is always a noble subject of contemplation.

  • Monstrueuse Guerre! Literature and Warfare in Late Sixteenth-‐Century
    Monstrueuse guerre! Literature and Warfare in Late Sixteenth-Century France by Margo Lynn Meyer A thesis submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in French in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Timothy Hampton, Chair Professor Déborah Blocker Professor Carla Hesse Fall 2013 Abstract Monstrueuse guerre! Literature and Warfare in Late Sixteenth-Century France by Margo Lynn Meyer Doctor of Philosphy in French University of California, Berkeley Professor Timothy Hampton, Chair The end of the French Renaissance was marked by a period of violent civil conflict, often referred to as the Wars of Religion, which lasted from 1562 to 1598. While substantial work has been done on structures of violence during this period, literary scholarship has yet to engage fully with the implications of war in the development of literary discourse. Moving beyond readings in which war is relevant only as context, I recuperate both major and minor texts of this period as a corpus that offers a sustained reflection on the problem of how to represent violence in language. Because representing war requires writers to grapple with how to use language to represent violence inflicted on physical bodies, formal literary choices become part of a broader cultural discourse of how to think about and judge war. Looking at four different genres—essays, tragedy, epic, and memoir—my analysis highlights how, in the closing decades of the sixteenth century, literary form develops in part as a discursive response to a larger problem of how to represent war.
