Download or read book The French Wars of Religion, 1562–1629 written by Mack P. Holt and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2005-10-13 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a 2005 edition of Mack P. Holt's classic study of the French religious wars of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Drawing on the scholarship of social and cultural historians of the Reformation, it shows how religion infused both politics and the socio-economic tensions of the period to produce a long extended civil war. Professor Holt integrates court politics and the political theory of the elites with the religious experiences of the popular classes, offering a fresh perspective on the wars and on why the French were willing to kill their neighbors in the name of religion. The book has been created specifically for undergraduates and general readers with no background knowledge of either French history or the Reformation. This edition updates the text in the light of new work published in the decade prior to publication and the 'Suggestions for further reading' has been completely re-written.

Book Synopsis Early Modern Diplomacy and French Festival Culture in a European Context, 1572–1615 by : Bram van Leuveren
Download or read book Early Modern Diplomacy and French Festival Culture in a European Context, 1572–1615 written by Bram van Leuveren and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2023-08-14 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first to explore the rich festival culture of late sixteenth- and early seventeenth-century France as a tool for diplomacy. Bram van Leuveren examines how the late Valois and early Bourbon rulers of the kingdom made conscious use of festivals to advance their diplomatic interests in a war-torn Europe and how diplomatic stakeholders from across the continent participated in and responded to the theatrical and ceremonial events that featured at these festivals. Analysing a large body of multilingual eyewitness and commemorative accounts, as well as visual and material objects, Van Leuveren argues that French festival culture operated as a contested site where the diplomatic concerns of stakeholders from various national, religious, and social backgrounds fought for recognition.

Download or read book The French Religious Wars 1562–1598 written by Robert Jean Knecht and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2014-06-06 with total page 124 pages.

Although the wars were fought between Catholics and Protestants, this books draws out in full the equally important struggle for power between the king and the leading nobles, and the rivalry between the nobles themselves as they vied for control of the king. In a time when human life counted for little, the destruction reached its height in the St Bartholomew's Day Massacre when up to 10,000 Protestants lost their lives.
Book Synopsis Local Politics in the French Wars of Religion by : Mark W. Konnert
Download or read book Local Politics in the French Wars of Religion written by Mark W. Konnert and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-05-15 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on the municipal archives of eleven French provincial towns as well as other related sources, this book explores the links between local and national politics during the Wars of Religion of the later sixteenth century. It argues that the response of the French towns to the challenge of heresy, and later the Catholic League, was conditioned by local circumstances. Whilst previous work has been published on the urban dimensions to the Wars of Religion, few studies provide a study of an entire province, allowing as this book does, the opportunity to explicitly compare several towns. After a detailed topographical introduction, placing in context the towns of the region and describing their differing urban constitutions, the following chapters deal with the crisis points of the Wars of Religion. This book sits squarely in the forefront of one of the dominant themes in the historiography of early modern France: the importance of the local community and local elites in political structures and political life. As such, it will prove fruitful reading for all scholars with an interest in early modern French urban and political culture.
