Podcasts about Huguenots

From wine valleys to White House stand-offs, we're in South Africa as the continent's biggest economy finds itself caught between China, Russia, and a sulking Uncle Sam. Reporting from Franschhoek, we trace the Huguenot legacy, the Dutch East India Company, and how South Africa became the West's favourite refuelling stop, until now. With President “Cupcake” Ramaphosa headed to the White House this week, US aid frozen, and Afrikaner “refugees” granted asylum, tensions are flaring. South African podcaster Pumi Mashigo joins us to unpack the realignment: BRICS, Palestine, misinformation campaigns, and why the Global South is finally saying: enough.

Marc Jaffré joins Jana Byars for a lively conversation about The Courtiers and the Court of Louis XIII, 1610- 1643 (Oxford University Press, 2025). Louis XIII's court has long been a feature of the popular imaginary, thanks in part to the many movie and TV adaptations of Alexandre Dumas' novel The Three Musketeers. Yet it remains misunderstood, commonly mischaracterised as weak, unimportant, or wholly subservient to the whims of Louis XIII. Seeking to correct this narrative, Marc Jaffré here offers a comprehensive analysis of the court's institutional, political, social, cultural, ceremonial, and financial development, across its very wide range of active participants, from courtiers, financiers, merchants, to lower-ranking household members.  The close study engages with the key issues of Louis' reign: the delegitimizing role of Cardinal Richelieu minister-favourite; the turbulent family dynamics that led Louis to wage wars against his mother, his brother, and his cousins; the backdrop of war, both with the Huguenots and within the context of the Thirty Years War; and the transformative rise of salon culture. In so doing, the court is shown to be a central, vibrant, and misunderstood element of early modern and pre-Louis XIV French history and culture. Courtiers, artisans, merchants, and financiers, among others, are shown to have played key roles in shaping the institutional, political, cultural, economic, and military framework of the court, and Louis XIII's reign more generally. In challenging the top-down paradigm prevalent in court studies, this monograph provides crucial correctives to the existing narrative that Louis XIII's court was weak or unimportant and simultaneously revises how early modern courts and their development have been understood historiographically.

https://nancybilyeau.comBorn in Chicago and a graduate of the University of Michigan, Nancy moved to New York City to work in the magazine business as a writer and editor. After working for publications ranging from Rolling Stone to Good Housekeeping, she turned to fiction. She wrote the Joanna Stafford trilogy, a trio of thrillers set in Henry VIII's England, for Touchstone/Simon & Schuster. For her Genevieve Planché novels—The Blue, The Fugitive Colours, and The Versailles Formula—she drew on her heritage to create a Huguenot heroine. Nancy is a direct descendant of Pierre Billiou, a French Huguenot who immigrated to what was then New Amsterdam (later New York City) in 1661. Nancy's ancestor, Isaac, was born on the boat crossing the Atlantic. Pierre's stone house is the third oldest house in New York State.VOX VOMITUS: Sometimes, it's not what goes right in the writing process, it's what goes horribly wrong.

Is your smartphone pulling you away from what truly matters? On this latest episode of the American Soul Podcast, we embark on a heartfelt journey to reassess our priorities, urging reflection on the importance of faith, relationships, and self-exploration. We challenge listeners to consider if distractions like phones or TV are overshadowing significant relationships, especially with loved ones. Drawing inspiration from 2 Corinthians 13, we stress the relevance of spiritual self-assessment, aiming to live in faith while recognizing the presence of Christ in our lives. Celebrate the journey towards eternal rewards, steering clear of worldly diversions, and revel in the powerful presence of God guiding us every step of the way.Join us as we unravel the misconceptions surrounding kindness and toughness, exploring how these values sculpt our relationships and lives. Personal anecdotes from my Marine Corps days illustrate the profound impact of respect, even amidst the toughest of challenges. Historical insights from figures like Booker T. Washington and Franklin Roosevelt highlight the influence of Christian values in America's past, while a humorous nod to Irma Bombeck's views on American traditions adds a lighthearted touch. We also pay tribute to the American heroes and martyrs of faith whose sacrifices teach us invaluable lessons, hoping to ignite a deeper appreciation for the narratives that shape our nation's history and faith's heritage.Support the showThe American Soul Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1791934/subscribe

Greetings from the calendar-less abyss of the week between Christmas and New Years! I'm excited to share that St. Patrick is going to spend a significant chunk of 2025 in a single book of the Bible. Most of us are just familiar enough with the Bible that we know that 1 Chronicles is a book that begins with nine chapters of tedious genealogies and then peppers in several more along the way, just for good measure. It's one of the places people simply give up on their chronological reading plans. Most of its juicier content is largely just reruns from 2 Samuel anyway, right? So, why on earth would we choose this of all books!?  First, a word on genealogy. My mom is one of those who's obsessed with family trees as a kind of historical research. She lights up when she gets to tell stories and unveil charts littered with names of people most of us have never even met, with whom we just happen to share bloodlines and surnames. I don't share the vigor, but her interest has caused me to consider that it made a big difference to my interest level about the Huguenots when I discovered they were my ancestors.  That's one of the many reasons why the author of Chronicles includes these lists. He wants the people to know that they have a part in the story he's telling. 1 Chronicles was written for the returning exiles to connect them on a personal and spiritual level back to the city they were trying to rebuild and the purpose for which they labored. That's important motivation when things get hard, as they inevitably do.  But rest assured, we're only going to spend one week in the genealogies of 1 Chronicles. I'll cover the broad strokes this Sunday, and then we'll get right into the life of David, the main character in this book. Although, I guess technically the main character would be the Temple of God. That's why we're calling the series Temple and Throne. You see, 1 Chronicles is a book about the centrality of worship to the life of the people of God. David is a warrior-poet: the King of Singers. The way he's depicted here is all about his job as the chief worship leader of a great nation, called to lead all other peoples in the praise of our God and King.  So, this year, we'll be dialing in on the same vision: we're a people who tell a better story – who sing a better song – than the world has to offer. This is not simply to compete for our supremacy among the voices of the world, as though we're on an international version of one of those televised singing competitions. We sing a better song (the story of Scripture worked out in our lives) in order to tune the whole earthly choir for our climactic moment in God's magnum opus. There will come a day when humanity outshines the angelic host, and we'd better be busy in our rehearsals until then! Join us this Sunday as we dig into the prologue to this story and see that there's a lot of gold to be found in that valley of bones.

CharlesFort was established when a French expedition, organized by Huguenot leader Admiral Gaspard de Coligny and led by the Norman navigator Jean Ribault, landed at the site on the May River in 1562, before moving north to Port Royal Sound. There, on present-day Parris Island, South Carolina—at that time a part of Florida Territory—Ribault left twenty-eight men to build a settlement. Podcaster Eric Yanis of The Other States of America continues to share his telling of this fascinating tale. Enjoy this Encore Presentation!

Episode: 1281 An old religious tract provides a window upon the Huguenots.  Today, an old book and a new look at creativity and dissent.

Community and belonging are essential in faith, where love welcomes everyone. Worship transforms lives and connects believers, especially during trials. The historical context of Psalm 74 highlights the struggles of Nigerian Christians and the Huguenots fleeing persecution. The Psalms' structure links to the Torah, emphasizing the temple's role in worship. Believers are encouraged to remember God's faithfulness, journal their prayers, and approach Him boldly, fostering a supportive community.

The Prime Minister's chief of staff Sue Gray has left her post and has been replaced by Morgan McSweeney. It's led some papers to claim "the lads have won this round". To discuss, Nuala McGovern is joined by Caroline Slocock, former civil servant and author of Margaret Thatcher and Me, which reflects on women and power. Actor Cush Jumbo has reprised the role of Lady Macbeth alongside David Tennant in Macbeth which has just transferred to the Harold Pinter theatre in London. She joins Nuala to discuss how she is approaching one of Shakespeare's most famous female characters. A recent government survey showed a sharp decline in the number of female-led businesses. Last year, only 15% of businesses employing fewer than 250 people were owned or led by women, down from 18% in 2022. Debbie Wosskow, serial entrepreneur and co-chair of the Invest in Women Taskforce, joins Nuala. Kate Mosse is soon to release The Map of Bones, the fourth and final instalment in her series of novels The Joubert Family Chronicles, which begin in 1562 and follow a persecuted Huguenot family, charting generations of courageous and resilient women. Adventurer Elise Wortley is following in the footsteps of forgotten female explorers… all whilst wearing the same, historically accurate clothing. She joins Nuala to tell her more about her mission.

We are back to Spanish Florida after a long hiatus, with the story of St. Augustine, La Florida after the founding of the city and the slaughter of the Huguenots at Fort Caroline until the construction of the Castillo de San Marcos in the 1670s. The city would almost fail, and in 1607 the Spanish Crown ordered that it be shut down and that Spain withdraw from Florida all together. That order would be promptly rescinded when the English landed at Jamestown. It is a story of courageous Catholic evangelism, Indian wars, relentless epidemics, and pirates, climaxing in the raid of the dread pirate Robert Searles in 1668. That attack would, ironically, result in a renewed commitment by the Spanish government to sustaining the city which would ensure its long-term survival as the oldest continuing town in the United States.

What does it mean to embrace a multicultural, democratic society in a nation scarred by Apartheid? Join us for the second part of our interview with Dr. Julian Sonn, who has spent the last thirty years working towards transformational change in South Africa. From the exuberance of the first democratic elections in 1994 to the ongoing quest for inclusivity, Dr. Sonn offers an in-depth look at the power and potential for leadership in bringing about transformation for South Africans. We recorded this just after a historic election took place here that offers powerful potential for change– if people can learn to work together. Dr. Sonn talks about the legacies of colonialism, fascism, and systemic oppression that has left an indelible mark on the country.  As he reflects on both the progress and setbacks over the last three decades, he underscores the potential of the VISIONS model to overcome barriers and move toward multicultural democracy, which has deep implications for understanding both the stakes and the possibilities of the present moment in South Africa and beyond.

On one side, the Catholic majority, unwavering in their devotion to Rome. On the other, the Huguenots, French Protestants inspired by the teachings of Jean Calvin.  Caught in the crossfire of this religious divide was the monarchy, struggling to maintain order amidst growing tension. But their efforts often only fuelled the flames of conflict.And so, in 1562, the first shots were fired in what would become known as the French Wars of Religion. Over the next three decades, France would be engulfed in a series of bloody clashes between Catholics and Protestants, tearing the nation apart.Join us as we unravel the intricate tapestry of alliances, betrayals, and power struggles that defined this turbulent period. From the grand halls of royal palaces to the blood-soaked fields of battle, we'll bring to life the key events and personalities that shaped the destiny of France.Timecodes:Introduction05:15 - From Strength to Chaos17:34 - Instability and Crisis27:24 - War, War, War!33:53 - The Saint-Barthélemy Massacre41:05 - The Eighth and Final War47:55 - Henri IV - "Paris is well worth a Mass"52:06 - ConclusionMusic: Marche pour la cérémonie des Turcs, composed by Jean-Baptiste Lully, arranged and performed by Jérôme Arfouche.Artwork: "St. Bartholomew's Day massacre' by François Dubois (1572)Support the Show.Reach out, support the show and give me feedback!

The death of Henry II thrusts his fifteen-year-old son Francis into the throne. From the word go Francis II is uninterested in running his kingdom. Nor will his sickly frame allow him to. Francis' brief reign is dominated by his mother, Catherine d'Medici, and the powerful Guise family. More than anything else, his reign features the beginning of a difficult period for the French Kingdom, which quickly finds itself torn apart by religious strife. WebsiteWestern Civ 2.0 Free Trial
