Full textThe archives left by Guichard d'Escorbiac enable us to attend the career of this Calvinist officer, from 1550, as a lawyer in Montauban, to 1606, when he resigned his office as an adviser at the Chamber of the Edict of Castres. He receives confidence responsibilities within the strategic fields of his time, especially in the Financial and administrative part of his city. He gains the King of Navarre's trust, which allows him to step in the king's close network as a "Master of Requests Ordinary" of his private Hotel. As a deputy, the Prince Bourbon's adviser plays a main part in the negotiations of Poitiers in 1577, and Nerac in 1579, before he distinguishes himself in their implementation in Rouergue and Quercy. After he became the Financial superintendant of the generality established in Montauban since 1585, he manages a quite important amount of money. Thereby he's in control of the supplying of the sinews of war. All along his career, his first capacity as a lawyer, gives him special concern for communication, which we can observe through his letters and speeches ; he thinks upon justice and the political difficulties of his time. Studying his career enlights the stakes of the religions wars and completes the numerous studies already made on Montauban or on the King of Navarre. It gives us to complete the numerous studies already made on Montauban or on the King of Navarre. It gives us to complete the reflections on ambivalence and dilemmas of many Calvinist officers taken to position themselves from 1560 within the turmoil of the first civil wars

Full textThe main purpose of this thesis is to contribute to a new definition of the nature of relationship between sovereigns during Modern Europe – usually considered as contemporary international relationship – through study of forms taken by diplomatic alliances. One term refers to links between princes when they are allied : “friendship”. A thorough analysis of language and political practice, based on diplomatic letters, is the best way to show all the aspects of this notion. When pragmatism gets first, a practical study was prefered to a purely theorical approach, considering reconciliation, then alliance during a decade between sovereigns who appear as out-and-out rivals, the Kings of Spain of France. As it appears in the middle of the 16th century, the friendship link is strongly familial and personal, which needs a permanently renewed engagement. “Friendship” has also its own rules. It supposes feelings must appear sincere and its engagement, honoured, as it is founded on a principle of reciprocity. Advising, giving information, affording military help, commiting no frontly hostile act, these are evidences mainly given by the two allies for they will to preserve the special relationship during the 1560’. In the end, “friendship” opens way to realizing ideals of medieval and modern Christendom : instauring global peace and restauring unity of faithThough it has a virtually limited impact and can’t exist without any interest of both parts, “friendship” between princes, in its principle, in a subtle but fundamental way is not an alliance between States

Full textDuring the religious wars and for the first time in history, lampoons took part in the political and religious conflict. Banned by a whole range of laws and moral rules, slanderous writings were allowed only on specific occasions: when a criminal was punished or when an external enemy was fought. However during the civil upheavals, they became a weapon for the aristocratic parties, the clergy, the Protestant spiritual leaders and even for individuals. Justified by the exceptional circumstances of the failure of royal arbitration, slanderous writings take the solemn form of public charges against an enemy of God or State. Why do lampoons seem so dangerous? Examining the question from the point of view of the producers, this multi-disciplinary study explores their means of persuasion, their choices in manner and matter, their modes of publishing and the way writings are integrated into the tactics of collective or individual action
Martysheva, Lana. "Le pari de l’Hérétique. Les prélats royalistes et la légitimation d’Henri IV." Thesis, Sorbonne université, 2018. http://www.theses.fr/2018SORUL001.
Full textThis dissertation investigates the French monarchy during a moment of crisis, focusing on an exceptional political bet made by a number of catholic prelates who chose to support Henri IV, a Protestant king. Their varied political actions are studied here, and the mechanisms of their work of legitimation of the first Bourbon are reconstructed, with a particular attention to the first years of his reign. The emphasis on these years offers the opportunity to give back to this period its dimension of uncertainty, as lived by the actors of the monarchy, a dimension that is generally erased under the weight of the history of the pacification, beginning with the Edict of Nantes. The choice of a short period allows a careful analysis of ceremonies of great symbolic importance, such as the royal abjuration and coronation. Too often these events have been merely narrated by historiography. This analysis, however, seeks to reconstruct their problematic dimension. Specific attention will be paid to the choices made when these events were published, which constituted a second staging of the act in printed form. With the focal point placed on the political commitment of the prelates, which at times was explicit, and at other times remained discreetly hidden away, it becomes possible to understand the monarchy as the collective work of multiple actors who endeavoured to ensure its survival. Thus, by proposing an alternative reading of events to the Navarro-centric vision that largely dominates historiography, this approach discusses the end of the Wars of Religion from a new perspective, which uncovers lesser known actors, who nonetheless played a crucial role in this process

Full textThis study explores how the French Royal State establishes at the heart of its apparatus of power structures specialized in the manipulation, projection, and reception of political writing. These structures are intended to end the troubles of the Wars of Religion, to win political positions against corps and communities, and to strategically, politically, and theoretically arm both battles as well as military and ceremonial contacts across Europe. The actors in these new structures are secretaries of State and secretaries. From this exceptionally intense political crisis, they help bring about a new governmentality that prepares and announces the coming of the administrative monarchy and the pre-bureaucracies of the second part of the 17th Century. As the heart of the state and the conduit of royal desire, secretaries mobilize their professional skills in the service of the sovereign. Their functional position in the state grows into the cutting edge of a political society undergoing intense restructuring. They thus form an administrative society with codes, uses, and practices closely related to their Spanish and English European counterparts, following the increasing internationalism of the Wars of Religion. The heuristic concept of the European “Republic of bureaus” once more asks questions regarding the transnational circulation of administrative knowledge and the transfers of government models. The increased attention to the materiality of the work of government bureaus on the European scale gives this study the dimension of a cultural history of the State, centered on the games of actors and scales, the resolution of conflicts, and the collaboration and connections at the heart of networks of information

Full textThis thesis focuses on the processes and political consequences of the crisis which destabilizes the French royal authority during the short-lived reign of young Francis II and propels the kingdom into the French troubles of religion. In the wake of the Italian Wars and the tragic death of Henry II, the accession of a fifteen-year-old king who refuses the power that is handed down to him entails a political contestation that is unprecedented in sixteenth-century France. The situation further deteriorates for the monarchical authority since the royal government led by the King’s uncles, the Guises, responds to the successful Protestant Reformation with severe repressive measures against heretics. In March 1560, the failed Amboise conspiracy reveals to the royal authority the extent and interconnectedness of the political and religious discontents. Thanks to figures of paramount importance to sixteenth-century France, such as Catherine de’ Medici, the Cardinal of Lorraine or Michel de l’Hospital, a process of major political reorientation is then initiated : the royal authority opts for religious moderation and an appeasement policy it tries to adapt to both the “necessities of times” and the increasing Catholic and Protestant momentums. Though the reign of Francis II opens the era of civil wars, it also opens that of political trials and experimentations which will eventually bring about the Wars of Religion edicts. This work is based on a detailed analysis of the chain of events, and endeavours to reveal the complexity of a reign “at the crossroads of times” as well as its determining role in the political reflection of the second half of the sixteenth century in France

Full textThis thesis concerns the history of Catherine de Medici : a woman, a queen, a wife and a mother. In this study, we analyze the representations of the female political power between 1560 and 1589. Hence, it’s also focuses on the history of the monarchy during the French Wars of Religion and his organization. We look into the traditions and the organization of the French court, as well as the complex relations linking the crown, the bourgeois and members of the nobility during a dark part of French history. Through those thirty years, Catherine managed to retain a wide and strong power in spite of opposing mentalities. For various reasons stemming from political, social, religious and economic matters, her political opponents disapproved of a woman holding such authority. For instance, according to them, women were unfit for the regency because of their acute emotivity and the danger that might arise from their influence on the king. Therefore, Catherine used other means such as art, correspondence and social networks to assert her role as a powerful female figure.

Full textHarmed by the first Wars of Religion, the Cotentin region is torn between the need to mend its wounds and the need to put an end to the huguenot threat. Far away from everything and prone to panic, the region believes that it is threatened by a new english invasion or even worse, by the erection of a Protestant Republic in Carentan. However, the nobility is not leading the fight: exhausted by wars, quickly deprived from its leaders, it must deal with a small circle of bailiffs and lower clergymen with their own contacts in Paris, a small world which nurtures a rancor against the Crown and thinks that the aristocracy will not measure up to the issues at stake.This work focuses on the popular components of the rural League. Priests wielding halberds, canons carrying arquebuses, robber lords, pirates and shipwrecks looters, smugglers and farmer-generals taxing salt and beverages, corrupt sergeants, woodcutter-potters and glassmakers from the Brix forest, drapers, fullers and dyers, that make up to a thousand leaders and troublemakers, part of a an unknown, picaresque and often suspicious fauna whose common denominator is not reduced to primary anglophobia and anti-protestantism.This research is also a political story, convinced that at the bottom of the social scale, there is an opinion, even in Normandy. Hence the necessity to find new documents and confront the individual to the group, his words to his actions, his present to his past, in a peninsula where nothing is more complicated than taking a public stance and killing each other among acquaintances, Then forget about it or lie

Full textThe aim of this thesis is to understand the relationships between the King and the nobles at the end of the Wars of Religion. This period is marked by a weakening of the royal authority and the division of nobility between factions with different religious faiths. In order to restore order in the kingdom, the King must rely upon nobles whose vocation is to bear arms. However, many nobles don’t recognize him like as a legitimate sovereign. Through war, negotiations and a wise policy of legitimation, Henri IV achieves his goal of rallying them behind his authority. This thesis aims to understand this reconciliation process, on what basis it is founded and how nobles contribute to redefine royal power. Even though peace has been restored since 1598 with the Peace of Vervins and the Edict of Nantes, protests of nobility are not shut and flared several times until 1629. The modalities of the revolt are at the heart of this thesis, that is, the way nobles express their discontent and justify their oppositions against the sovereign. The court provides an ideal environment for the observation of the power dynamics between the King and nobles, men and women. The choice of the period from 1589 up to 1629 allows one to follow the evolution of the relations with the monarchical authority and evaluate the weight of honor, driving force of nobility action as well as the defense of faith in the nobles’ positions. This extensive period allows to apprehend how nobility protests contribute to the building of the monarchy during a period marked by religious conflicts
Bouvignies, Isabelle. "Éléments pour la reconstruction de la genèse de l'État de droit constitutionnel démocratique des guerres d'Italie (1494-1559) aux guerres de religion (1559-1589) : Machiavel, Bodin et la réforme française." Paris 4, 2006. http://www.theses.fr/2006PA040222.
Full textMachiavelian political thought emerged on the foreground of an obliteration of the religious conception of the world, among the disorders created by the wars of Italy. In France, Bodin thought, on the contrary, as wars of religion between Catholics and Protestants were at their most, was claiming that the “royal monarchy” was the only solution to avoid religious division — his proposition of a royal State is usually considered as a prefiguration of modern State. The rule of law appears actually as a legal structure for State. In fact, the concept of absolute sovereignty is the core of Bodin’s theological and political thought. The bodinian State is not founded on constitutional and democratic premises, but on a domestication of violence. After 1572, in the kingdom of France, immediate disciples of Calvin: Bèze, Duplessis-Mornay and Hotman, reacted to the royal violence. Their convictions were also religious, but founded on another conception of the relation between politics and religion. In some way, we can say that the modern State was born from this tension between absolute sovereignty — which is a conception of law — and a new conception of religion, inclining to autonomy, through the claim for individuals to practise their religion freely, and even under a State as warrant — which is another conception of law, and of the rule of law

Full textThe subject of this thesis is the foreign policy of Elizabeth I, Queen of England (1558-1603), toward France during the reign of Henry III, King of France of the dynasty of Valois. The first purpose was to determinate how Elizabeth I, protestant queen, and her ambassadors, reacted toward the wars of Religion between French Catholics and Protestants. We also study their reactions toward the princely ultra catholic family of Guise and the group they leaded, the Holy League. Elizabeth chose to act secretly with the protestants rebels first (1574-1577) but, she adopted a sincere diplomacy with the crown subsequently (1584-1589) to obviate that France fall into Guise’s and their ally’s hands, Phillip II, King of Spain.

Full textThe oath represents a key instrument for calibrating the prominence of the religious sphere combined with the political situation that characterizes the early modern period (16th-18th century). Thus, it appears that particularly troubled times -religious wars, then the French revolution- present a regular use of the oath, primarily intended to reinforce the solidity of bonds and agreements. The use of the institution experiences an unprecedented evolution as early as the religious wars, thus highlighting the need to express ideological allegiance along with the traditional guarantee of loyalty. During that painful period and especially at its conclusion, the oath conveys a national unity now primarily revolving around the political bond; the religious dimension, although still fundamental receding into the background. The Revolution is a golden age for the oath of allegiance, which enables “the new man” to provide the indispensable sanctity for the regeneration of the society he wishes to be dechristianized. During the period, the oath plays the role of exclusion while laying a foundation for the revolutionary repression. Above all, the institution conceals destructive effects, even when it is supposed to be the building tool of the new City. Resorting to the oath during the periods currently presented emphasizes the building of the Modern State through a sacralization of politics. However, as the very essence of the institution lies in its religious roots, an oath, either secular or laying the foundation of a strictly secular society may not exist without risking becoming meaningless or turned into a mere promise

Full textCities in the 16th century were a fertile ground for the propagation of all kinds of information. Whether conveyed by merchants or in private spheres, all news items were necessary to know about the situation of distant regions but could also prove to be dangerous when their content was uncertain. Urban powers endeavoured to control the circulation of information in order to turn them into a political tool. In a society where information was perceived as a token of power that allowed the elite to act on reality, a new method to manage and control it was implemented, on which urban powers built their political action thanks to the emergence of an increasingly specialised administration. This question of the command of information was all the more urgent as a civil war was challenging the unity of the city.Focusing on the city of Lyon, an economic capital and a border city of the French realm,my goal is to analyse the role played by the handling of information in the government of a city in the midst of Religion wars. The letters and official documents of lay authorities show all the different ways the urban elite appropriated the circulation of informat ion, its search and itselaboration into an official discourse meant to be communicated to other authorities and to the population. These questions shed light on the growing codification of “good information” which served the purpose of political decision-making. The circulation of all news controlled by the urban powers also unveils the many networks woven with the king, the court andnumerous cities, both near and far from Lyon.Thanks to messaging services that were increasingly institutionalised, the municipal authorities of Lyon created networks in order to defend the city’s interests, to react to the conflicts unfolding and to the rumours spreading in order to remain in control. This organisation aimed to tighten the grip of the elites on the city and to justify their social status

Full textDisplaying contemporaneous events on the theatre stage does not necessarily need to involve mythological or historical transposition. Often neglected or even despised by theatre critics, the representation of contemporaneousness, however, offers a particularly fertile field of study when it comes to analysing how individuals reflect on their own existence in Time.During times of religious conflict in Europe, both Catholics and Protestants alike used the stage as a powerful vehicle to stir controversy; situated at the crossroads between multiple forms and influences, theatre can provide its public with a re-presentation of present time both entertaining and critical, designed to strengthen a community’s actual and intellectual unity. What is more, forms and functions of “topicality” on stage evolve and develop further as religious conflict shifts from the theological to the political battleground and hope for reconciliation is overshadowed by escalating armed conflicts.Whilst Protestant topical theatre finds numerous concurrent signs of the imminent end of the world, the topical theatre created and represented at the Catholic Valois court tries desperately to maintain the illusion of a Golden Age of concord; soon thereafter, however, an Age of Iron is acknowledged, in which theatre reflects the violence and bloodthirstiness of its time and calls on the audiences to take action. When the compromise of the edict of Nantes imposes peace and amnesty, this pragmatism is substituted by a drive towards memorialisation: performing the present on stage becomes a matter of remembrance, at a time when the Bourbon monarchy tries to turn the recent past into a legend

Full textThe important steps of French nobility: At first, 1550: part of the French nobility chooses to Protestantism. Then, 1560 and 1598: the French Religious Civil Wars. Finally, it was the start of Absolute Monarchy. When the unity of the Faith no longer existed, the choice of the French nobility was either to be faithful to the King or to god. Therefore, there were a gap between the religious faith and the political loyalties to the King. At first, the French nobles kept trusting their King, but a certain misunderstanding started to develop and the nobles gradually chose freedom over their loyalty to the French King. England’s proximity and Elisabeth 1st’s Court help them keep their distance with the King. They could rely on too their friends and family and parents to keep their faith alive, and the Edict of Nantes re-established the French nobility’s civil and religious rights. However the persecution of the Protestant did already start. Therefore many French Protestants nobles chose exile. Otherwise they were banished by the French Kingdom. Some of them hid their real faith, refusing to have to choose between their God and their king

Full textNowadays the notion of commitment is at the heart of the great majority of researches devoted to the construction of themodern State in France, the protestant nobility and the wars of religion. This thesis is part of this dynamic current of research in history – and more generally in the human sciences – but it is on a time spanning almost two centuries that it offers to analyse the mechanisms, forms, means and consequences of the political and religious commitments of a well-known house’s members, but paradoxically little studied, the Coligny-Châtillon. In the middle of the 15th century, Jean III de Coligny abandoned the clientele of the duke of Burgundy or the duke of Savoy and settled in his domain of Châtillon-sur-Loing to devote himself entirely to the French king’s service. Pursuing this crucial commitment, his descendants’ succeeded in getting closer to the royal power in only two generations. This privileged position was nevertheless called into question when François d’Andelot, Gaspard de Coligny and then Odet de Châtillon publicly pledged their support for the Huguenot Cause. Thus, the fast degradation of peace in the French Kingdom echoes the inexorable fall of the Châtillon brothers in the sovereigns’ favour ; which favour their descendants’ would strive to recover completely for nearly eighty years. So many commitments that propelled the Coligny from mountains of Bresse and Revermont to the King’s Council ; which gradually shifted them from the status of favourites to that of “criminels de lèse-majesté” ; and which finally led them from the gibbet of Montfaucon to the royal necropolis of Saint-Denis
