Religious Violence in Sixteenth-Century France: Moving Beyond Pollution and Purification.
- Authors
Holt, Mack P.
- Abstract
An essay is presented which discusses the religious violence between Catholics and Huguenots in 16th century France, known as the Wars of Religion, often referencing the essay "The Rites of Violence: Religious Riot in Sixteenth-Century France," by Natalie Zemon Davis. Particular focus is given to using Davis' concept of pollution and purification to compare the Wars of Religion with the religious violence in late medieval Iberia and 16th century Dijon, France.
