Germany and the French Wars of Religion, 1560-1572

Overview

The course of the French Wars of Religion, commonly portrayed as a series of civil wars, was profoundly shaped by foreign actors. Many German Protestants in particular felt compelled to intervene. In Germany and the French Wars of Religion, 1560-1572 Jonas van Tol examines how Protestant German audiences understood the conflict in France and why they deemed intervention necessary. He demonstrates that conflicting stories about the violence in France fused with local religious debates and news from across Europe leading to a surprising range of interpretations of the nature of the French Wars of Religion. As a consequence, German Lutherans found themselves on opposing sides on the battlefields of France.

Reviews

[Van Tol's] study illustrates how crucial it is to understand the role of emotions in diplomacy, therefore opening a door to an innovative political history of emotions. Stefanie Freyer, Universitat Osnabruck. In: Renaissance Quarterly, Vol. 74, No. 3 (Fall 2021), pp. 996-998.
