About The Book
This third edition of The French Wars of Religion: A History offers a clear and comprehensive introduction to a tumultuous period in French history, marked by religious civil wars and political turmoil. Robert Knecht, Emeritus Professor of French History at the University of Birmingham, expertly explains the origins of the Huguenot Church and provides a nuanced analysis of the religious conflict, challenging simplistic interpretations that view it as merely a political rebellion.
The book covers:
-
The evangelical and Lutheran origins of the Huguenot Church in France.
-
A detailed look at the religious wars and the political ideas that emerged from them.
-
The recovery of France under Henry IV.
This edition has been thoroughly updated to include the latest scholarship, particularly regarding the Massacre of St. Bartholomew and the reign of Henry III. The text is complemented by a new color plate section, a glossary, maps, genealogical tables, and a selection of original historical documents, making this an essential resource for understanding the French Wars of Religion.
