Excerpt from Histoire des Assemblées Politiques des Réformés de France (1573-1622)
D'ordinairc on compte entre le massacre de Vassy qui mit pour la première fois les Catholiques et les Protes tants aux prises ensemble, et l'édit de Nantes par lequel une transaction équitable rétablit la paix entre eux, huit guerres de religion. Les quatre premières commencèrent et finirent sous Charles IX; la cinquième, entreprise deux mois avant la mort de ce prince, se termina sous Henri 111. C'est également sous Henri 111 que la sixième, la septième et la huitième eurent lieu. Au siècle suivant, la lutte se renon vela pendant le ministère d'albert de Luynes d'abord, et plus tard sous l'administration du cardinal de Richelieu. A ces ditïérentes époques, les Rèformés français ont tenu des assemblées tout à fait distinctes des synodes, des colloques et des consistoires que le législateur du Calvinisme avait créés pour traiter de la discipline ecclésiastique et de la doc trine. Ces assemblées spéciales, désignées par le nom com mun d'assemblées politiques, étaient tantôt générales, tan tôt provinciales. On peut aussi ranger parmi elles les Conseils provinciaux et les Cercles.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book details the political assemblies which structured the French Protestant movement throughout the religious wars of the 16th century, a period known as the Wars of Religion, in which French Protestants, known as Huguenots, fought a series of civil wars against the French monarchy in an attempt to secure religious toleration. These assemblies, convened by Protestant leaders, organized Huguenots into a powerful political force in France, forging a united front against the Catholic monarchy and laying the groundwork for future religious pluralism in the country. The book provides a comprehensive account of the decisions made by these assemblies, their far-reaching effects, and the various religious and political considerations which influenced them.
