Vol. vnL—1. ; CELEBRATED CRIMES. MASSACRES IN THE SOUTH. 1551-1815. It may be that our readers, whose memories hardly go back beyond the Restoration, will be surprised at the large frame in which we enclose the picture that we are about to place before their eyes, embracing something more than two centuries and a half ; but everything has its precedent, every river its source, every volcano its internal fire; from 1551 to 1815, on that portion of the earth's surface to which we direct our attention, the pendulum swung constantly from one side to the other, action was followed by reaction, vengeance by reprisals and the religious annals of the South are nothing more than a double entry ledger kept by fanaticism with death, with the blood of Protestants entered on one side, and of Catholics on the other. In the great political and religious commotions of the South, whose convulsions, like earthquakes, reached sometimes to the capital, Nimes was always the central point. We therefore select Nimes as the central point of our narrative, which may sometimes stray away to other places, but will always return thither in the end. Nimes, reunited to France under Louis VIII., and governed by consuls, whose authority, substituted for (3) 4 MASSACRES IN THE SOUTH. that of Bernard Athon VI., its viscount, dated from the year 1207, had just celebrated, during the episcopate of Michel Briponnet, the discovery of the relics of St. Bau- zile, martyr and patron of the town, when the new doc- trines were disseminated throughout France. The South early had its share of persecution, and in 1551 the seneschal's court at Nimes sentenced several professors of the reformed religion to be burned at the stake upon the public square at Nimes,—among them Maurice Secenat, a missionary from the Cevennes, taken in the act of preaching. Thenceforth Nimes had two martyrs and two patron saints, one worshiped by the Catholics, the other by the Protestants, and St. Bauzile, after a reign of twenty-four years, was forced to share the honors of the protectorate with his new concurrent. To Maurice Secenat succeeded Pierre de Lavan ; these two preachers, whose names have survived many other names of obscure and forgotten martyrs, were put to death upon the Place de la Salamandre four years apart, the only difference being that the first was burned and the second hanged. Pierre de Lavan was attended during his last moments by Dominique Deyron, doctor of theology ; but the usual order of things was reversed, and instead of the priest converting the patient, it was the patient who converted the priest. The word, which they had striven to stifle, rang out anew. Dominique Deyron was sentenced, pur- sued, hunted, and escaped the gibbet only by taking refuge in the mountains. The mountains are the refuge of every rising or decay- ing sect ; God has given to the kings and the mighty ones of earth the cities, the fields and the sea ; but He has given the mountains as an ofiset to the weak and the oppressed. ; MASSACRES IN THE SOUTH. 5 Persecution and proselytism, however, kept pace with each other ; but blood produced its ordinary effect,—it fertilized the soil, and after two or three years of strife, after two or three hundred Huguenots had been burned or hanged, Nimes awoke one morning to find the Pro- testants in the majority. Wherefore, in 1556 the consuls of Nimes were sternly brought to book for the manifest leanings of the city toward the reformation. In 1557, hardly a year after this admonition. King Henri II. was forced to remove the Huguenot Guillaume de Calvi^re from the office of president of the presidial court. Finally, the chief justice having ordered the consuls to supervise the execution of all heretics, those bourgeois magistrates protested against this order, and the royal authority lacked the strength to make them comply with it. Henri died, and Catherine de Medici and the Guises ascended the throne under the name of Fran9ois II. There is one period, when a nation always has a breath- ing space, and that is during the obsequies of its king. Nimes took advantage of the opportunity afforded by the burial of Bang Henri II., and on September 29, 1559, Guillaume Moget founded the first Protestant community there. Guillaume Moget came from Geneva ; he was the child of Calvin's bowels ; he arrived at Nimes with the firm determination to convert all the remaining Catholics to the new faith, or to be hanged. He was eloquent, ardent, artftil ; too intelh'gent to be violent, and disposed to make concessions, if reciprocal concessions were made to him therefore the chances were all in his favor, and Guillaume Moget was not hanged. The moment that a growing sect ceases to be enslaved it becomes a queen ; heresy, which was already mistress 6 MASSACRES IN THE SOUTH. of three fourths of the city, began to raise its head boldly in the streets. A bourgeois named Guillaume Raymond loaned his house to the Calvinist missionary ; a public service was established there, and the most irresolute were converted. Soon the house became too small to contain the multitudes who thronged thither to drink in the poison of the revolutionary doctrines, and the most impatient began to turn their eyes upon the churches. Meanwhile the Vicomte de Joyeuse, who had been appointed governor of Languedoc in the room of M. de Villars, was much concerned by this rapid progress, which the Protestants no longer attempted to conceal, but of which on the other hand they openly boasted ; he sum- moned the consuls and reprimanded them roundly in the king's name, threatening to send a garrison to Nimes which would find a way to put an end to all the commotion. The consuls promised to check the evil without the ne- cessity of outside intervention, and by way of keeping their promise doubled the patrol, and appointed a captain whose sole duty was to enforce order in the streets. Now this captain, employed to repress heresy, was Captain Bouillargues, the most abandoned Huguenot who ever lived. The result of this fortunate choice was as follows. One day when Guillaume Moget was preaching in a gar- den to an enormous crowd, a heavy shower came up. It was necessary for them to disperse or to find some place of shelter, and as the preacher was at the most interest- ing part of his sermon, they did not hesitate to adopt the latter alternative. The church of Saint-Etienne-du- Capitole was near at hand, and one of the audience sug- gested that that place would be most convenient, if not strictly appropriate. The suggestion was enthusiastically received ; the rain came down with renewed violence, and MASSACRES IN THE SOUTH. 7 they hurried off to the church. The curate and the priests were driven out, the Holy Sacrament trampled under foot, and the sacred images broken in pieces. After those preliminaries Guillaume Moget ascended the pulpit, and resumed his sermon with such eloquence, that his auditors, renewing their excitement, were not satis- fied to end their exploits for the day there, but lost no time in taking possession of the Cordelier convent, where they proceeded to instal Moget and the two women, who, in the words of Menard, the historian of Languedoc, never left him, day or night. As for Captain Bouillar- gues, his impassive demeanor was something magnificent. The consuls, being brought to book a third time, would have been very glad to deny that there had been any disorder, but it was impossible. They therefore threw themselves upon the mercy of M. de Villars, who had been reinstated in the government of Languedoc, and M. de Villars without further reference to them, intro- duced a garrison into the castle of Nimes, to be paid and fed by the city, while a military police, independent of the municipal police, was organized and placed under the control of a governor, assisted by four district cap- tains. Moget was driven from Nimes, and Captain Bouillargues was removed from his office. Thereupon Fran9ois II. died. His death produced the usual effect; the persecution was relaxed, and Moget returned to Nimes. It was a victory, and as each victory is followed by a step forward, the victorious preacher organized a consistory, and the deputies from Nimes de- manded in the States-Greneral of Orleans that houses of worship be provided.

Historians rarely offer more than a brief biography and often neglect to mention at all his key role in the Great Schism. Yet, the very absence ofPope Benoit XIU from most historical narratives of medieval history itself highlights the active role that historians play in determining what gets recorded. In some cases, the choices that people make in determining what does, and what does not, get included in historical accounts reveals as much about the motivations and intentions of the people recording that past as it does about their subjects. This essay studies one example of this problem, in this case Europeans during the Reformation era who self-consciously manipulated sources from medieval history to promote their own agendas. We can see this in the sixteenth-century translation ofa treatise written by the medieval theologian Nicholas de Clamanges (1363-1437. Clamanges was a university professor and served as Benoit XIII's secretary during the Great Schism in Avignon, France. The treatise, entitled La Traite de fa Ruine de f'Eglise, was written in Latin in 1398 and was first distributed after Clamanges' death in 1437.

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.

CATHERINE DE’ MEDICI: THE CRAFTING OF AN EVIL LEGEND Lindsey Donohue Western Civilization February 18, 2020 1 When describing the legend of the evil Italian queen, Catherine de’ Medici, and why Medici has been historically misrepresented, being credited with such malediction and wickedness, N.M Sutherland states that she has been viewed as a, “. .monster of selfish ambition, who sacrificed her children, her adopted country, her principles - if she ever had any - , and all who stood in her way to the satisfaction of her all-consuming desire for power.”1 The legend of the wicked Italian queen held widespread attraction among many, especially after Medici’s death in 1589. The famous legend paints Medici inaccurately by disregarding her achievements as queen regent as well as her constant struggle to administer peace during a time of intense political turmoil and religious feuding, and it assumes that Medici was a victim of circumstance.

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).

  • THE CAMISARD UPRISING of the FRENCH PROTESTANTS. The
    THE CAMISARD UPRISING OF THE FRENCH PROTESTANTS. BY REV. PROF. HENRY MARTYN BAIRD, D.D., LL.D., University of the City of New York. The movement known as the War of the Camisards is an episode of the history of Protestantism in France which, though rarely studied in detail and perhaps but partially understood, was not devoid of significance.1 1 On the Camisard uprising see Louvreleuil, " Le Fanatisme renouvelle, ou Histoire des Sacrileges, des incendies . que les Calvinistes revoltez ont commis dans les Sevenes " (Avignon, 1704, 3 vols.). Concluded in a fourth volume under the title " L'Obstination confondue" (Avignon, 1706). Brueys, "Histoire du Fanatisme de notre terns" (3d edition, Utrecht, 1737, 3 vols.). Cavalier, " Memoirs of the Wars of the Cevennes " (2d edition, London, 1727). Though ostensibly written by Cavalier himself, the true author is said to be Pierre Henri Galli, who gives the results of conversations with the Camisard chief, but with such frequent errors as to diminish greatly the value of the narrative. The anonymous " Histoire des Camisards" (London, 1754) is inaccurate and rarely deserving of confidence. The pastoral letters of Bishop Fle'chier in the 5th volume of his " CEuvres completes " (Paris, 1828), and his correspondence in the 10th volume are of great interest. Antoine Court, '' Histoire des troubles des Cevennes ou de la guerre des Camisards, sous le regne de Louis XIV." (Villefranche, 1760, and Alais, 1S19, 3 vols.). By far the most faithful and complete history of the entire war. Although Court was a child at the time of the events described^ and is compelled to make use of the narratives of Louvreleuil, Brueys, etc., he had great familiarity with the region of the Cevennes, where he labored as a minister from 1715 onwards.

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.

  • Rebecca Mccoy, Lebanon Valley College
    Protestant and Catholic Tensions After the French Revolution: The Religious Nature of the White Terror in Languedoc, 1815 Rebecca McCoy, Lebanon Valley College The Napoleonic Era ended with considerable turmoil across France as four different regimes—Napoleon’s Empire, the First Restoration, the Hundred Days, and the Second Restoration— succeeded one another from March 1814 to July 1815. Nowhere was the conflict more marked than in Languedoc.1 There, the rapid changes of government created the context for the White Terror of 1815, the last major episode in the cycle of religious violence that had marked Protestant and Catholic relations since the Wars of Religion. Scholars, however, have mainly interpreted the White Terror as a political reaction against the Revolution and especially the Hundred Days.2 The political focus of much of the secondary literature is no surprise given that most of the surviving sources were written by Bourbon officials, many of them Catholic Ultraroyalists, who represented the White Terror purely as the result of factionalism and political I would like to thank Professors Rosemary Hooper-Hamersley, Jennifer Popiel, Ralph Menning, and Bethany Keenan for their helpful critiques and suggestions. I would also like to thank Lebanon Valley College for numerous faculty grants. Finally, I want to thank my colleagues in the Department of History, Politics, and Global Studies at Lebanon Valley College for funding from the Dick Joyce Fund. 1The focus of this study is on the parts of Languedoc with a Protestant population, most notably the Gard along with adjacent areas of the Hérault, Aveyron, and Lozère. 2The key works on the White Terror are: Brian Fitzpatrick, Catholic Royalism in the department of the Gard, 1814-1852, (Cambridge: 2002); Daniel Resnick, The White Terror and the Political Reaction after 1815, (Harvard: 1966); and Gwynn Lewis, The Second Vendée: Counter-revolution in the Department of the Gard, 1789-1815, (Oxford: 1978).
