3.) The Bourbons were a high-class family who championed the Calvinists. The Bourbons were important because they unified France with the small kingdom of Navarre, which helped overthrow the monarchy during the French Revolution. (1577)

4.) The Edict of Nantes was issued by King Henry VI, which granted limited toleration to the Huguenots. The Edict of Nantes was significant because it allowed Protestants to worship in their own homes; it protected the rights of the minority, and opened public office to the Huguenots. (1598)

5.) The War of the Three Henry’s was the eighth and final conflict in a series of civil wars in France, and it was a three-way war fought between, Henry III of France, Henry of Navarre, and Henry of Lorraine. The War of

    The Massacres of 1572 had, to some extent a devastating effect to the Huguenot movement. The most significant of these was the loss of leadership within the movement, especially the nobility. Nobles can give the movement political, militaristic and financial strength as well as providing it with a sense of structure. The most important of these nobles was Admiral Coligny. He was the leader of the movement, head of the Army and was very close to the King. With his death the Huguenots lost royal protection as the King would have been more sympathetic with Coligny. The loss of nobles also brought a loss in political influence. There were now less members of the Conseil d’en Haut, which made it easier to pass acts against the Protestants. This is a significant blow as before 1572 they had been given a number of concessions by Catherine de Medici. Another significant loss was in 1577 when Henri de Navarre was forced to stay at court and convert to Catholicism, which looked like he had betrayed the Huguenots.…

    In many ways Louis XIV had successes in his aim for religious unity, as his earlier tactics to persecute the Huguenots seemed to be working. Between 1661 and 1679 successful restrictions were made on Huguenot activity and many were bribed to abandon their faith. The casse des conversions resulted in a steady pace of conversions, its leader, Paul Pellisson, claimed to have converted 50,000 Huguenots at ten livres a head. Along with this in 1668, one of the Kings best generals converted from a Huguenots to a Catholic, a major setback to Huguenot morale in France. Between these earlier years the size of Huguenot numbers fell from 2 million to 1 ¼ million and it seemed to be continuing; Louis attempt to gain religious unity was succeeding. The Edict of the Fontainebleu which made Protestantism illegal was well supported in France with many who agreed with Louis that there should be only one religion.…

    He collected taxes without the consent of the estates general in order establish many things, fund a series of wars, build a bigger and stronger military and to build his palace, the Palace of Versailles, when it was built he insisted that the nobles spend more time there (Doc 2). This eventually led the nobles into debt because they spent most of their time and money at the Palace of Versailles. The nobles being in debt meant that they lost status and power, which ultimately fed the basis for the French Revolution. Document 3 states; “The aftermath of the revocation was disastrous for France. Many of those who abjured [gave up] their Protestant religion repented of their weakness.”(Doc 3) This demonstrates that the removal of the Edict of Nantes drove people insane because it granted the people France substantial rights, however when the rights were removed by Louis XIV people became infuriated, which is another reason to why the French Revolution occurred. Fundamentally, the actions that Louis XIV took had a great impact towards his people. His actions ultimately led the people of France initiate the French Revolution, which left France and its people at a vulnerable…

    He tried to accomplish the goal of one faith by revoking the Edict of Nantes. This revocation caused a religious upheaval and was a huge blow to the French people. Protestants were found in each level of French society and one of the most mobile when it came to commercial and industrial classes. The French lost their most useful class. Although they had lost this important class the Huguenots began to convert to Catholicism.

    After he took power, Louis XIV made the nobility tax exempt, so the heavy burden of the taxes lied on the peasants, which made their already hard lives even tougher. In document 3, it explains how Louis XIV keeps his courtier in line so that they stay diligent in pleasing him. The documents also depicts his oppressiveness, stating that Louis XIV had many spies that tattled on anyone of any class which ruined the person’s life since the king was a prejudice who did not bother to ask for explanations. Other cruel changes he made during his rule was revoking the Edict of Nantes, which tolerated the Huguenots in France and gave them religious rights. In place of the Edict of Fontainebleau, which allowed the destruction of all Protestant churches and schools throughout France. During the War of the Spanish Succession, Louis XIV prioritized his personal interests above his country’s because he wanted to insure his grandson's, Philip V, right to inherit the Spanish Empire. The war weakened France and situated the country in a huge financial debt, which was blamed on Louis XIV. This shows his views on how to be a proper role of an absolute monarch; apparently, you can do whatever you want since you hold the power and as long as you keep those who have the ability to rebel under control. It also implies that his views are that…

    Liberty was the main goal for the French people, to be free from the poor work conditions they were in. The work environments for the peasants were horrible and needed to be changed. They were working to feed their families and the landlords. The landlords were taking all of their harvest and leaving them with nothing. The French government was not paying taxes and the lower class was paying twice as much to cover the royal community. They worked like slaves to barely get by and children were abused and be used to do more for less pay. Today we have freedom of speech, which is something that has not always been around. They were not…

    Thomas Wolsey was Henry's most important minister early in his reign. Wolsey became Archbishop of York in late 1514, was created a cardinal of the Catholic Church the following November, and became Lord Chancellor of the realm in December 1515. Wolsey achieved singular stature in these offices. Since Henry was not so interested in administration as his minister, Wolsey took over many of the duties of kingship, overseeing England's finances and diplomatic relations with other European powers. Henry became extremely dependent on Wolsey, whose zeal and ability as an administrator made him indespensable. Among Henry's contemporaries on the European continent, many considered Wolsey to be the true ruler of England, since it was to him that foreign officials were often directed to address concerns meant for the English king.…
