  • Conflict and the Making of Religious Cultures in Sixteenth-Century France
    Conflict and the Making of Religious Cultures in Sixteenth-Century France Howard G. Brown Binghamton University, SUNY In 1973, Natalie Zemon Davis published what has become the most influential article on the wars of religion: “The Rites of Violence: Religious Riot in Sixteenth-Century France.” The impact of this article reached well beyond specialists in the field to become a pioneering model of cultural history. At the time of its publication, most historians were laboring in the vineyards of social history, trampling out the grapes of class conflict. This was equally true of sixteenth- century specialists whose arduous plodding up and down in tax rolls and judicial records seemed to yield a robust vintage of bourgeois-led religious movements (in the loose sixteenth-century sense of urban, middling groups ranging from master artisans to municipal magistrates). In France, at least, the socio-economic status and ambitions of these men made them useful allies in aristocratic struggles over control of the French monarchy, debilitated by the bizarre death of Henri II in 1559. In this way, class struggle apparently helped both to complement and complicate existing explanations that emphasized either religion or politics as the dominant forces in a series of civil wars that devastated France from 1562 to 1598. Davis’ article was hugely successful because it sweepingly replaced class conflict with what can only be described as cultural conflict, though she did not use the term.1 Her article discredited supposed causal connections between grain prices and popular riots using religious rhetoric and persuasively suggested that Protestant victims and Catholic perpetrators represented more or less proportionately the full range of urban identities except for unskilled workers.

Dean, School of Graduate Studies ABSTRACT Speight, Shannon Lee. M.HUM, Department of Humanities, Wright State University, 2010. Social Context for Religious Violence in the French Massacres of 1572 The project looks at violence as a social norm during the French massacres of 1572, causing widespread violence at a popular level, at the heart of which was religious group identity. The work examines outbreaks of fighting between Catholics and Huguenots starting in Paris with the St. Bartholomew‟s Day Massacre and spreading to provincial cities in the following months. Rather than viewing hostility as instigated from the top levels of society, this works aims to verify that there existed within France an acceptance of aggression that, encouraged by inflammatory religious rhetoric, resulted in the popular violence of the massacres.

In fact, however, historians from the sixteenth century to the present day have debated whether the civil wars chat roiled France from c.l560 to 1598 arose primarily from religious differences or aristocratie ambition. Consider chese two) quotations from the years 1579-81, the first from a Catholic historian and the second from a Protestant: Those who have considered things closely have known that neicher religion alone nor the oppression of the Protestants caused the kingdom's troubles, but also the hacreds that eldsted among che great nobles because of their ambitions and rivalries. 2 Those who, in speaking generally of the truc sources of the strange tumults that our fachers began but have not yet finished, attribuee the source only co the difference in religion, are immediacely contradicted by chose most clairvoyant in affairs of stace, who find only human passions .

  • Religious Violence, Certainty, and Doubt in the French Wars of Religion
    Que sais-je? Religious Violence, Certainty, and Doubt in the French Wars of Religion Mack P. Holt George Mason University Most of the religious violence resulting from the religious reformations of the sixteenth century shared much in common with the religious violence of the medieval period that preceded it. It was largely sanctioned by secular and/or ecclesiastical authority. It tended to break out in places where new religious ideas threatened to subvert established ways of navigating the boundaries between the visible world and the invisible world. And it also tended to invoke the certainty of knowing that unorthodox religious ideas and practices, if allowed to go unchallenged, threatened both Christian society in the visible world and eternal salvation in the invisible world. Having said that, however, I also wish to argue for both historicity and specificity in trying to analyze religious violence. It is hardly something monolithic, universal, and inevitable as critics of organized religion are sometimes eager to suggest. Religious violence has to be understood in the social and cultural contexts that produced it. Indeed, one of the most intriguing questions for scholars of the Reformation generally, and the French reformation in particular, is why violence among civilians— neighbors killing neighbors—escalated significantly in the sixteenth century. How do we explain, for example, the scale of popular violence that erupted in Paris and a dozen provincial cities in France in August 1572, known collectively as the St. Bartholomew’s massacres, when maybe 2,000 Huguenots in the capital and another 4,000 in the provinces were murdered? 1 The most convincing explanation is the classic thesis offered by Natalie Zemon Davis more than thirty years ago.

    CHAPTER SIX SHAPING THE MEMORY OF THE FRENCH WARS OF RELIGION. THE FIRST CENTURIES Philip Benedict In 1683, the historian Louis Maimbourg dedicated his Histoire de la Ligue to Louis XIV with some reflections about the past century.1 Although France was now a unified kingdom capable of dictating terms to the entire globe, he wrote, it had almost been destroyed in the sixteenth century by ‘two baneful leagues of rebels’. ‘Heresy formed the first against the true religion; ambition disguised as zeal gave birth to the second’. Mercifully, divine providence subsequently granted the house of Bourbon the glory of triumphing over both of these leagues. First Henry the Great defeated the ‘League of False Zealots (Ligue des Faux-Zelez)’ with his valour and his clemency. Then Louis the Just disarmed the Calvinists by capturing the strongholds in which they had established a form of rule contrary to monarchical sovereignty. Finally Louis the Great, through his combina- tion of charity, zeal for the conversion of the heretics, and concern for the just application of the law, reduced the Protestant party to so weak a condition that its end seemed nigh. Maimbourg’s depiction of the later sixteenth century as a time of two baneful leagues reminds us that the history of how later generations recalled and passed along the story of the French Wars of Religion is a particularly complex one not merely because so many specific episodes of trauma, from local ambushes to larger massacres to political assassina- tions shook families, localities and the kingdom over nearly forty years of conflict, but also because the conflicts involved two different insurgent parties in two different phases with two different outcomes.

A census found 2,150 Reformed churches in France at the beginning of 1562.2 One might wonder how such impressive growth was achieved given the opposition Geneva and Calvinism faced from the country’s Catholic government during this period. This article explores this basic question.3 A number of answers might be suggested.
