Marion, Elie (1678–1713), Camisard Prophet by Lionel Laborie © Oxford University Press 2004–16 All Rights Reserved 5/27/2016 Oxford DNB article: Marion, Elie Marion, Elie (1678–1713), Camisard prophet by Lionel Laborie © Oxford University Press 2004–16 All rights reserved Marion, Elie (1678–1713), Camisard prophet, was born on 30 May 1678, at Barre des Cévennes, Lozère, in the Cévennes mountains, southern France, the eldest of the eight children of Jean Marion (d. 1709/10), a prosperous protestant farmer, and his wife, Louise, née Parlier (d. 1704). He was baptized by the local minister on 26 June 1678. Following the revocation of the edict of Nantes, which abolished freedom of worship for French protestants after years of restricted toleration, his family faced growing pressure from the authorities; four of Marion's siblings, born after 1685, were baptized as Catholics as the law demanded. Little is known about Marion's childhood, except that his parents continued to raise him in the protestant faith at home. Between October 1695 and July 1698 he trained as a clerk for a notary in Nîmes, and studied law in Toulouse for a further three years. Towards the end of 1701 clandestine protestant assemblies began to meet in the woods and mountains surrounding Barre. They were led by young prophets and lay preachers who, having replaced exiled ministers, called for an armed rising against the Catholic authorities and instilled apocalyptic beliefs in martyrdom. Two of Marion's brothers—Pierre (b. 1685) and Antoine (1689–1769)—started to prophesy or to participate in ecstatic utterances in early 1702, even though their father showed little sympathy for this prophetic outbreak. Elie Marion returned to the Cévennes in early July 1702 and was at first shocked by these manifestations. Three weeks later a group of rebels murdered the abbé du Chaila, a notorious Catholic priest who persecuted protestants. His death sparked the Camisard rising, when local Calvinist peasants, led by ‘Roland’ (Pierre Laporte) and Jean Cavalier of Ribaute, took up arms against the Catholic authorities to restore their freedom of religion. The war of the Cévennes opposed no more than 3000 Camisards against 20,000 dragoons over a period of two years. Though he too began to prophesy messages from God in January 1703, Marion did not play an active part in the Camisard rising. Rather his education and charisma led him to become a secretary and spokesman for his largely illiterate co- religionists. This exposed his family to targeted oppression: his father was imprisoned, his mother killed, and the family house was burnt down. Marion condemned Jean Cavalier's surrender in May 1704 as a betrayal of the French protestant cause, but was forced to negotiate a first truce with Marshall Claude- Louis-Hector de Villars upon the rebels' defeat. He stayed with a band of Camisards in Geneva between November 1704 and February 1705. Expecting foreign support, he returned to Alès in March, but the rebellion ended in bloodshed the following month, when several prominent Camisards were executed. Marion negotiated a second truce in July and fled again—this time to Lausanne via Geneva—in the following month. While in Lausanne, Marion had met David Flotard, agent to the marquis de Miremont. Both men now travelled to London where they arrived on 16 September 1706. Marion joined two other Camisard prophets—Durand Fage and Jean Cavalier of Sauve, who had arrived in June and July respectively—and rapidly imposed himself as the leader of the group. Because of their rebellion against Louis XIV, and their claims to prophecy, the Camisards immediately faced opposition from the ministers of the French-speaking churches of London, who sought to contain the http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/printable/109569 1/3 5/27/2016 Oxford DNB article: Marion, Elie threat of a millenarian movement within their community. The two parties met on several occasions in autumn 1706, but failed to compromise: the Camisards accused the London ministers of deserting their flock at the revocation of the edict of Nantes, while the French church of the Savoy publicly condemned Marion, Fage, and Cavalier as impostors in January 1707, and excommunicated them in March. Since his arrival in London, Marion had exhorted to repentance and sacrifice, and had delivered apocalyptic predictions of the fall of Rome. He sought initially to raise a Huguenot regiment to revive the rebellion in the Cévennes. However, the Camisards began to attract a number of British millenarians—of whom the most prominent included Sir Richard Bulkeley and John Lacy—as well as Richard Roach and other members of the Philadelphian Society. In response Marion adopted an irenic discourse intended to reconcile protestant denominations ahead of the second coming. His predictions appeared in April 1707 as Avertissemens prophétiques d'Élie Marion, l'un des chefs des Protestans, qui avoient pris les armes dans les Cévennes, and the book was simultaneously translated into English as Prophetical Warnings of Elias Marion. Marion's prophecies, which included the destruction of London, soon sparked protests from the local Huguenot community against those they labelled the ‘French Prophets’. Early in May 1707 French ministers initiated the trial of Marion and his two scribes, the mathematician Nicolas Fatio, of Duillier, and Jean Daudé, before the queen's bench for blasphemy and sedition. The three men were found guilty on 22 November: they were each fined 20 nobles and exposed on the scaffold at Charing Cross on 1 December and at the Royal Exchange on the following day. The trial—which may have served as a precedent for that of the Brotherite Nathaniel Brassey Halhed, in 1795—was recorded as one of only four noteworthy events for the year 1707 in John Noorthouck's New History of London (1773). By the date of his trial Marion had become the central figure of the rapprochement between the Camisards and the Philadelphian Society, whose ecumenical assemblies celebrated the Act of Union as a symbol of peace and reconciliation between protestant nations and denominations. The Philadelphian Richard Roach even regarded Marion as the new Elias who would usher in the millennium. Together they celebrated ecumenical agapes or ‘love feasts’ in private and performed alleged miracles. On 25 May 1708 one such miracle—the planned resurrection of Thomas Emes, an English follower of the French Prophets—ended in failure. In the wake of this disappointment, between August and December, Marion and the prophetess Jeanne Raoux named twelve missionary tribes within the French Prophets. Marion's father died some time between 16 December 1709, when he drafted his will, and 11 February 1710, when the will was registered. Marion was bequeathed 500 livres, which was a debt due from named persons, and the remaining estate was divided between his three brothers. For the rest of his life Marion travelled between London and the continent, meeting eminent theologians such as Pierre Jurieu in Rotterdam and August Hermann Francke in Halle. His missions took him to Berlin and Vienna in 1711, where he was to prophesy against the Holy Roman empire. Shortly after his return to London in 1712, he embarked with three brethren on the Prophets' greatest continental mission for nearly two years. They reached Stockholm in July and were arrested in Danzig in September, having been mistaken for Swedish spies. After eight months in prison, during which Marion fell ill and suffered abundant nosebleeds, the four men were released in May 1713. They returned to Halle, where they made converts in both Huguenot and pietist circles. By August the prophets had reached Constantinople, but—seized by a strong fever —were unable to prophesy to the Ottoman sultan, Ahmed III. They departed from Smyrna to Leghorn, Italy, a week later, where Marion died on 29 November 1713, while on the way to Rome. Like other prominent prophets, Marion did not marry, which has been considered as an inspiration for the French Prophets' celibate http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/printable/109569 2/3 5/27/2016 Oxford DNB article: Marion, Elie descendants, the Shakers (Chabrol).

  • 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.

  • Histoire Religieuse En Piémont Cévenol
    Histoire religieuse en Piémont cévenol a France connaît au XVIe siècle une fracture religieuse : la grande majorité du pays reste fidèle au catholicisme, tandis qu'une importante minorité rejoint la L Réforme. Le principe de la coexistence de deux confessions dans le Royaume se révèle inapplicable. La guerre ne peut être évitée, signe de l'échec de la tolérance civile. Huit guerres vont se succéder sur une durée de 36 ans, entrecoupées de périodes de paix fragile. Elles s'achèvent avec l'Édit de Nantes (30 avril 1598) qui instaure une tolérance civile limitée. La dualité confessionnelle établie en France en 1598 sera peu à peu érodée jusqu'à la révocation de l'Édit en 1685. Après l'Inquisition, qui commence dans la région en 1204 et la croisade contre les Albigeois, les gens du piémont ne sont que de tièdes catholiques. L'excommunication de Philippe Le Bel par le Pape Boniface VIII en 1303, les procès des Templiers et le comportement des papes d'Avignon renforcent leur hostilité envers la hiérarchie de l’église catholique. Aussi quand à partir de 1532, se répand dans la région la doctrine de Luther, et vingt ans après celle de Jean Calvin, les Cévenols s’investissent pleinement. Dans leur quasi-unanimité, ils embrassent ce que l'histoire a appelé "la Réforme".

Athens, Ga: University of Georgia Press, 2009. 176 pp. Index. $44.95 U.S. (cl). ISBN 13-978-0-8203-3390-8. Review by W. Gregory Monahan, Eastern Oregon University. The traditional interpretation of the Huguenot experience in the New World has long held that the French settlers assimilated rapidly into their new surroundings, intermarrying with those already settled and often abandoning their own French churches for the more comfortable conformity of Anglicanism.[1] Recent literature, however, has questioned some of the assumptions underlying this orthodoxy, as historians have begun to discover ways in which the Huguenots who settled on the shores of the Americas maintained their own cultural identity.[2] Into this debate comes Catherine Randall, herself descended from Huguenot forbears, to join those arguing for a revision of the standard interpretation. What makes Randall’s slender monograph (116 pages of text) different from those that have preceded it is her introduction of the Camisard Rebellion into the mix, and her argument that the Huguenots of the New World were influenced in their desire to retain aspects of their own culture by what she calls the “Camisard survival strategy,” one that involved an outward conformity hiding a more inward rebelliousness, with an enthusiastic form of pietism thrown in for good measure. This is an interesting argument, and in her efforts to trace the longer term impact of the Camisards, Randall joins a small but distinguished group.
