A combination of the gravest difficulties stared Queen Elizabeth in the face, when on the seventeenth of November, fifteen hundred fifty-eight, she succeeded her half-sister on the throne of England. The war with France into which Mary had dragged the nation to assist her husband, Philip of Spain, had resulted in the surrender of Calais, the last foothold across the channel; peace was not yet concluded; there was no army or fleet; and the treasury was not only empty but burdened with a heavy debt. Poverty among the masses had given rise to social discontent, and the country was rent by religious dissensions. A Papal judgment had pronounced the marriage of Elizabeth's mother null, and there was a Catholic claimant to the throne in the person of Mary Queen of Scots, who had rendered her pretensions especially dangerous by her marriage with the Dauphin of France. Never was wise counsel more needed, and it was fortunate for Elizabeth that she had the sagacity, as well as the opportunity, to call to her side so able and devoted a minister as William Cecil. England, however, was not the only country which was divided in religion, and it was of especial importance to Elizabeth that in the lands ruled by her enemies, to the south across the channel and to the north across the border, the reformatory movement had gained a foothold. In France it had at first and for a long time thereafter experienced little progress, but was now making rapid strides, had enrolled under its banner some of the foremost nobles of the kingdom, and had acquired strength in various places in the central and southern provinces and also in Normandy. Early in her reign Elizabeth began to court the friendship of Protestants in other countries. A month after her accession she commissioned Christopher Mundt, who had formerly been in the service of Henry the Eighth and Edward the Sixth, as her agent in Germany and instructed him to endeavor "to revive and maintain amity'' with the Protestant princes. In view of the meeting of Parliament which was near at hand, Cecil proposed to party leaders questions regarding the course which ought to be pursued. One of the answers received deserves our special attention. It contains memoranda of the dangers which might ensue upon the alteration of religion in England, dangers not only from sources at home, but from Rome, France, Scotland, and Ireland. Among the comments on how they could be met is this statement: "For France, to practice a peace ; or if it be offered. not to refuse it. If controversy of religion be there among them, to help to kindle it." In Scotland, an effort should be made "to help their divisions and especially to augment the hope" of the Protestants. Peace was soon concluded. Henry the Second of France and Philip the Second of Spain, as well as Elizabeth, were in financial straits, and each wished his hands free that he might crush the growing spirit of heresy in his dominions. Negotiations had been begun before Mary died, and a treaty was signed at Cateau-Cambresis in the following February. Philip stood by England, and although France retained Calais, she went through the form of agreeing to restore it at the end of eight years, or else pay five hundred thousand crowns. In the meantime she was to furnish hostages. During this period neither the French nor the English sovereign should make any hostile attempt, directly or indirectly, upon the realm or subjects of the other. If the former should do so, either Calais or the money would be forfeited, if the latter should do it, her enemies would be released from their obligations.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Queen Elizabeth and the French Protestants in the Years 1559 and 1560 It was originally my intention to make the narrative here begun extend to the Treaty of Troyes, in April, 1564, and include Elizabeth's connection with the first Huguenot war; but I found the undertaking rather large, and have confined myself for present purposes to a part of the field, namely, that part about which there is most uncertainty. I have already done much work on the remaining period, and intend to resume it at the earliest opportunity. Of the books which I have used, the following are cited in the notes.

Download or read book French Protestantism s Struggle for Survival and Legitimacy 1517 1905 written by Stephen M. Davis and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2023-05-25 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the dawn of the Protestant Reformation, French Protestants began their struggle for religious equality and civil rights. They faced opposition from the monarchy and the Roman Catholic Church. For centuries the Catholic Church had influenced every aspect of life--cultural, educational, social, political, and economic. Protestantism arrived as a foreign invader and disrupted the Catholic monopoly. Protestants did not receive individual civil and religious rights until the French Revolution in 1789. The Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen announced a new era of religious tolerance. Official recognition of the Protestant religion was not granted until Napoleon came to power and imposed the Concordat of 1801 and the Organic Articles in 1802. The rights obtained by Protestants did not always translate into protection from violence and discrimination. During the nineteenth century, political upheaval and attempts to reestablish Catholicism as the state religion led to the termination of the Concordat in 1905. The history of French Protestantism serves as a reminder of the danger of either religion or government assuming powers and roles which have not been attributed to them by the law of the land, the laws of God, or the will of citizens.

Download or read book Germany and the French Wars of Religion 1560 1572 written by Jonas van Tol and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2018-11-05 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book Princes Politics and Religion 1547 1589 written by N. M. Sutherland and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 1984-07-01 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The period following the treaty of Cateau-Cambresis and the death of Henry II in 1559 is of crucial importance in the history of France and of Europe; yet little that is satisfactory has been written about it. To this, the work of Dr N.M. Sutherland is a notable exception. Princes, Politics and Religion, 1547-1589 brings together all her major articles, not already reprinted elsewhere, together with an introduction and two completely new contributions. While mainly focusing on the immediate origins and early decades of the French civil wars, she also deals in a wider sense with the great ideological struggle of the sixteenth century.
