Résumé : Strategically located between the Mediterranean and the Atlantic Ocean, the South
of France has always been a melting pot of people and ideas… No wonder then that as
soon as the Reformation started, it received an enthusiastic welcome in many of the
towns and villages and soon swept most of the Southern half of France. In many of
these villages, the descendants of the Cathars and the Vaudois had been living quietly
and were among the firsts to join the new churches. But challenging the spiritual,
and in some cases the secular, power of Rome wasn't without danger; soon the “heretics”
were being persecuted, harassed and burned with their seditious books. As the French
Kings (with the notable exception of Henry IV), sided with the Pope, a culture of
resistance developed and has remained to these days. Richard Maltby, retired Professor
of History at King's School in Canterbury, takes us through the villages, towns and
hideouts of the Huguenots and follows their actions of resistance to tyranny, from
the Renaissance to WWII. His book shows the clear link and shared ideas between the
Huguenots who fought Louis XIVth and their descendants who hid Jewish children and
fought nazi occupation forces. [source éditeur]
