Ce 24 août 1572 est un jeudi et c'est la Saint-Barthélemy. Depuis quatre heures du matin, à Paris, la cloche de l'église Saint-Germain-l'Auxerrois sonne. C'est le signal. En quelques minutes, les rues de la capitale deviennent un piège mortel. Le massacre de la Saint-Barthélemy vient de commencer. Les premières cibles sont les chefs protestants venus en ombre à Paris pour assister quelques jours plus tôt, souvenez-vous, au mariage entre Henri de Navarre, prince Huguenot, c'est-à-dire protestant, et Marguerite de Valois, sœur du roi de France. Un mariage censé sceller la réconciliation entre catholiques et protestants après des années de guerre civile. Mais la paix est fragile. Le peuple parisien, massivement catholique, gronde. Les prêcheurs fanatiques enflamment les foules à la cour. Catherine de Médicis, la reine-mère, s'inquiète de l'influence croissante des protestants sur son fils, le roi Charles IX. Le 22 août, un attentat manque de peu. L'amiral de Colligny, chef militaire et politique du parti Huguenot, est brièvement blessé. Les protestants crient au complot. Paris devient une poudrière. Dans la nuit du 23 au 24 août, le roi donne son accord. A contre-cœur, mais il donne son accord. « Il faut éliminer les chefs protestants, dit-on, pour éviter la guerre". Mais ce sera un carnage. Dans les premières heures, Colligny est arraché de son lit, poignardé, défenestré. Puis la violence se répand, hors de tout contrôle. Les milices, les ligueurs, les artisans, les voisins, Paris se mettent à traquer, à égorger, à jeter les corps dans la Seine. Les maisons protestantes sont marquées d'une croix blanche à la craie, des meurtres faits au nom de Dieu. Le roi Henri de Navarre et le prince de Condé, eux, sont épargnés de justesse, mais forcés de se convertir au catholicisme. Le massacre, loin de s'arrêter à Paris, se propage dans les jours suivants à Orléans, Lyon, Bordeaux, Toulouse, Rouen, Meaux, Albi. De bilans impossibles à établir précisément, les historiens avancent des chiffres allant de dix mille à trente mille morts en quelques semaines. Et les conséquences ? La rupture est totale entre les deux camps. Le massacre ruine l'image de la monarchie française à travers l'Europe, les princes protestants étrangers s'indignent, le pape Grégoire XIII, lui, fait frapper une médaille pour célébrer l'événement. La guerre de religion reprend, plus dure, plus amère encore. Mais la mémoire de la Saint-Barthélemy, elle, ne s'effacera jamais. Elle devient un traumatisme national, un symbole du fanatisme religieux, de la trahison politique, de l'horreur humaine. Le 24 août 1572, la France a rompu avec elle-même. Elle a tué ses propres enfants, au nom de Dieu et du pouvoir. A demain dans TIME SHOT pour une nouvelle Minute Histoire. Hébergé par Audiomeans.

Dịch bệnh, chiến tranh, khủng hoảng tài chính hay bất ổn chính trị thường dẫn đến suy thoái và khó khăn cho nhiều quốc gia. Thế nhưng với Geneve, Thụy Sĩ, những biến động đó nhiều lần trở thành cơ hội để gia tăng sự giàu có và củng cố vị thế quốc tế của thành phố này. Minh chứng mới nhất là vào tháng 03/2026, chính quyền bang Geneve công bố thặng dư ngân sách 50 triệu franc Thụy Sĩ cho năm 2025. Bất chấp các cuộc khủng hoảng quốc tế liên tiếp xảy ra, thành phố đắt đỏ hàng thứ tư thế giới vẫn tiếp tục thịnh vượng. Và đây cũng là năm thứ sáu liên tiếp Geneve công bố thặng dư ngân sách. Làm thế nào giải thích cho sự ổn định đáng ngạc nhiên này ? Theo Marc Guéniat, nhà báo điều tra của nhật báo Thụy Sĩ Le Temps, đó không phải là một hiện tượng mới, mà là một sự tiếp nối liên tục trong dòng lịch sử của Geneve từ hơn bốn thế kỷ. Sự giầu có đến từ Pháp Nền tảng cho sự thịnh vượng của Geneve trước hết được xây dựng trên vai trò là một vùng đất trú ẩn, bắt đầu từ thế kỷ XVI với cuộc Cải cách Tin Lành do nhà thần học người Pháp có sức ảnh hưởng mạnh mẽ là Jean Calvin thực hiện. Cuộc cải cách này đã biến Geneve thành trung tâm của đạo Tin Lành tại châu Âu, được mệnh danh là « La Mã của người Tin Lành ». Thành Geneve trở thành điểm đến cho những người bị đàn áp tôn giáo vào thời kỳ đó, đặc biệt là từ Pháp, sau khi các chính sách khoan dung tôn giáo ở Pháp bị bãi bỏ, nhiều tín đồ Tin Lành buộc phải rời bỏ quê hương. Trên làn sóng đài phát thanh France Culture, ngày 22/05/2026, phóng viên điều tra Marc Guéniat và cũng là tác giả tập sách « Genève confidentielle, la ville qui aimait l'argent des autres » (tạm dịch: Bí mật Genève, thành phố yêu chuộng tiền của người khác, NXB Stock), giải thích : « Một làn sóng nhập cư cộng đồng tín hữu Kháng Cách (Huguenot), những tín hữu Tin lành Pháp đã đến định cư tại Geneve. Họ mang theo tài năng, di sản, của cải, kiến ​​thức chuyên môn và mạng lưới thương mại. Một khi ổn định, họ tiếp tục sử dụng những nguồn lực ấy, để rồi từ Geneve xuất khẩu kiến ​​thức và chuyên môn của họ sang Pháp. Vì vậy, chúng ta có thể nói rằng Geneve đã trở nên giàu có hơn đáng kể là nhờ Pháp. » Nhờ đó Geneve dần dần xây dựng sức mạnh kinh tế dựa trên khả năng thu hút nguồn vốn, các mối quan hệ thương mại và tri thức chuyên môn từ bên ngoài. Động lực này tiếp tục được củng cố nhờ những cơ hội kinh doanh bất ngờ. Marc Guéniat nhắc đến trường hợp nổi tiếng của « indiennes », loại vải cotton in hoa rất được ưa chuộng nhưng từng bị cấm ở Pháp: « Một ví dụ khác là vải bông (cotton) in hoa văn, mà Vua Louis XIV đã cố gắng cấm ở Pháp vào cuối thế kỷ 17 và suốt thế kỷ 18. Loại vải này rất thời thượng và rất được người Pháp ưa chuộng. Chúng bị cấm trên lãnh thổ của họ. Chính người dân Geneve đã bắt đầu sản xuất và xuất khẩu chúng thông qua các mạng lưới buôn lậu. Và một lần nữa, hoạt động đó đã làm giàu cho Geneve. » Thế giới bất ổn là một cơ hội Từ đó người ta có thể rút ra một nghịch lý lịch sử : Geneve đã làm giàu đáng kể nhờ chính nước Pháp. Ngày nay, khả năng thích ứng ấy của Geneve vẫn thể hiện rõ trong nền kinh tế hiện đại. Trong khi các cuộc khủng hoảng quốc tế làm suy yếu nhiều quốc gia, thành phố đắt hàng thứ tư thế giới vẫn biết cách biến bất ổn thành cơ hội kinh tế. « Ví dụ trong đại dịch Covid-19, thế giới rơi vào khủng hoảng, mọi thứ gần như đình trệ, chuỗi cung ứng bị gián đoạn, thì tại Geneve, 300 hãng kinh doanh nguyên nhiên liệu, nhất là các tập đoàn kinh doanh dầu mỏ, đã hoạt động tích cực và thu về những khoản lợi nhuận khổng lồ. Chúng được phản ảnh trong ngân sách liên bang thông qua thuế đánh vào lợi nhuận của những công ty này và các khoản thu nhập từ nhân viên của họ. Có thể nói, Geneve đã vượt qua được khủng hoảng này rất tốt. Và kịch bản này cũng đã được lặp lại với cuộc chiến ở Ukraina. Một cuộc khủng hoảng năng lượng lớn đã diễn ra. Trên khắp châu Âu, tại các nước phương Tây, người ta bắt đầu tự hỏi liệu có nên giảm tiêu thụ điện năng hay không. Và một lần nữa, giá cả tăng vọt và các cuộc đàm phán về nguyên liệu thô đã diễn ra. Khoảng 300 công ty trên, bao gồm cả chi nhánh của hãng Total của Pháp, đã thu được những khoản lợi nhuận to lớn và tất nhiên là thặng dư kỷ lục trong ngân sách liên bang. » Như « món lộc trời ban », Geneve sở hữu một « khả năng chống chịu phi thường », nhờ vậy thành phố hưởng lợi từ những biến động địa chính trị toàn cầu, hay nói như Voltaire, triết gia người Pháp, là « từ những sai lầm gây ra ở nước ngoài ». Ổn định chính trị : Lá chủ bài cho sự hưng thịnh Nhưng Geneve đâu chỉ có những hình ảnh tích cực. Trong một phim tài liệu do đài truyền hình Thụy Sĩ RTS thực hiện, khi được hỏi « Theo quý vị, sự thịnh vượng của Thụy Sĩ từ đâu mà có ? », nhiều người trong số họ trả lời « nhờ vào các ngân hàng ». Đối với Geneve nói riêng và Thụy Sĩ nói chung, câu chuyện về « bí mật ngân hàng » ngày nay là khá quen thuộc. Cuộc khủng hoảng tài chính năm 2008 từng làm thổi bùng lên dự đoán rằng sự suy giảm dần của bí mật ngân hàng sẽ kéo theo sự sụp đổ của mô hình tài chính Geneve. Nhưng điều đó đã không xảy ra. Ngược lại, thành phố giàu có này đã tái tạo mô hình tài chính của mình. Với cuộc khủng hoảng đồng euro (2010 – 2012), một lần nữa hình ảnh về một nước Thụy Sĩ như là nơi « trú ẩn an toàn » lại nổi lên mạnh mẽ. Theo Marc Guéniat, chưa bao giờ lượng vốn đổ vào các ngân hàng Thụy Sĩ lại nhiều đến như thế trong giai đoạn đó. Sức hấp dẫn này trước hết là nhờ vào sự ổn định chính trị ngoại lệ của Thụy Sĩ:  « Trong 150 năm qua, Thụy Sĩ vẫn có cùng một kiểu chính phủ điều hành, với một Quốc Hội ổn định, không hề có bất kỳ biến động lớn nào. Họ không đột nhiên có một François Mitterrand được bầu lên nắm quyền, cũng không đột nhiên có một Nicolas Sarkozy được bầu. Thụy Sĩ đi theo một con đường gần như đã được định sẵn, và đó là điều mà người ta gọi là ổn định chính trị. Đây là một lợi thế đáng kể cho những người giàu có hoặc các doanh nhân, cho phép họ lập kế hoạch cho tương lai. Tôi nghĩ đó là một yếu tố then chốt của sự thịnh vượng của đất nước. » Dù vậy, Marc Guéniat cũng nhìn nhận đằng sau sự ổn định đó, vẫn tồn tại những cơ chế tài chính ít minh bạch : « Tuy bí mật ngân hàng đã biến mất, nhưng vẫn còn một loạt các dịch vụ tài chính bình phong được Geneve cung cấp, thông qua đội ngũ các luật sư và người ủy thác cung cấp nhiều dịch vụ cho phép bạn cất giấu tiền để trốn thuế bất chấp việc trao đổi thông tin thuế tự động, bằng cách thành lập các công ty bình phong ở Bahamas hoặc các thiên đường thuế ở vùng Caribê. Vì vậy, cơ chế này về cơ bản vẫn còn tồn tại. » Trong số các dịch vụ này, « cảng miễn thuế - port franc » là một ví dụ tiêu biểu. Marc Guéniat cho biết: « Cảng miễn thuế là các kho ngoại quan cho phép mọi người đăng ký hàng hóa, đặc biệt là các kiệt tác, và lưu trữ chúng mà không phải trả thuế trị giá gia tăng TVA. Điều này rõ ràng giúp tiết kiệm chi phí TVA, và sau đó cho phép họ lưu trữ tác phẩm nghệ thuật, âm thầm đầu cơ vào việc làm tăng giá của những thứ hàng hóa đó, và sau đó bán lại, với việc người mua phải trả thuế TVA ». Những điểm mong manh tiềm tàng Dù sở hữu một nền kinh tế mạnh mẽ, Geneve cũng không tránh khỏi những căng thẳng xã hội ngày càng gia tăng. Trong nhiều thập niên sau Đệ Nhị Thế Chiến, thành phố này đã xây dựng được một sự cân bằng giữa tăng trưởng kinh tế và phúc lợi xã hội. Marc Guéniat giải thích : « Sau chiến tranh, Thụy Sĩ đã hình thành một loại liên minh chính trị giữa các đảng tự do, các đảng trung hữu và các đảng dân chủ xã hội, những đảng này đã được hợp nhất vào các chính phủ liên minh ở cả cấp bang và liên bang. Và kết quả của liên minh này là việc duy trì luật pháp thân thiện với doanh nghiệp, mang tính tự do, thuận lợi cho tinh thần kinh doanh, đồng thời cho phép phát triển một hệ thống phúc lợi xã hội đủ mạnh để bảo vệ những người dễ bị tổn thương nhất. » Mô hình này đã mang lại nhiều cơ hội thăng tiến xã hội cho con cháu những người nhập cư sau Thế Chiến Thứ Hai. Tuy nhiên, theo Marc Guéniat, cỗ máy này bắt đầu có những dấu hiệu trục trặc trong 15 năm trở lại đây. « Thành phố đã trải qua một làn sóng nhập cư đáng kể vào thời điểm đó để xây dựng một Thụy Sĩ đang phát triển nhanh chóng như hiện nay, trong số đó có nhiều người đến từ Ý, Tây Ban Nha và Bồ Đào Nha. Và những người này, nhờ vào khế ước xã hội, đã có thể sinh con và cho con cái họ tiếp tục học lên cao hơn, và theo một cách nào đó, con cái họ đã thành công hơn thế hệ cha mẹ. Đúng là Thụy Sĩ có một chu kỳ tích cực, tồn tại khoảng sáu mươi năm. Và trong khoảng 15 năm trở lại đây, khi chu kỳ này phần nào chững lại, người ta đang chứng kiến ​​sự bất bình đẳng ngày càng gia tăng đáng kể, và những người làm việc toàn thời gian không còn đủ sống. » Trong suốt hơn bốn thế kỷ, Geneve đã sống cùng với các biến động lớn của lịch sử thế giới. Từ các cuộc đàn áp tôn giáo ở châu Âu, những khủng hoảng tiền tệ, các biến động tài chính toàn cầu, cho tới đại dịch và chiến tranh hiện đại, thành phố này luôn tìm thấy cơ hội giữa những bất ổn. Chính khả năng biến khủng hoảng của thế giới thành lợi thế của mình đã làm nên nét đặc thù cho Genève. Đó có lẽ là bí mật lớn nhất đằng sau sự thịnh vượng của thành phố : Trong khi nhiều nơi nhìn thấy rủi ro, Geneve trông thấy cơ hội. Và trong một thế giới ngày càng bất ổn, lợi thế ấy dường như vẫn chưa mất đi.

For our final episode of the season, the Art Smitten team are reflecting on music that reminds us of works of art …

Episode: 1616 Ivan Polzunov and early Russian steam engines.  Today, the steam engine comes to Russia.

What is it that actually forms our inner reality? Our values, our perspective, our judgment, our understanding of wisdom about the issues that really matter? What difference does that make in Christian character formation? The American church consistently produces fruit that many of its own leaders either don't recognize, don't want, or disapprove of. Under- and malformed Christian people reflect a grounding in the surrounding culture rather than the character and love and gospel of Jesus Christ. In this episode, author, professor, and consultant Tod Bolsinger argues that culture is the thing that forms you before you ever realize it, let alone consent to it. He suggests that the soil of community and belonging—rooted in attachment, vulnerability, trust, and joy—is what makes sense of exemplary models of Christian formation. "If you wanna grow good fruit—abundant harvests of good fruit—you don't focus on the fruit, you focus on the soil." With Mark Labberton, Tod reflects on the agricultural model of spiritual formation; regenerative farming and the impact of soil health on the quality of the fruit; the example of Andre Trocme and the French Huguenots of Le Chambon-sur-Lignon, village whose radical hospitality saved thousands of Jews during the Holocaust; trust, pain, and care The intentionally formative community: joyful belonging, shared values, vulnerable self-reflection, care that isn't comfort. Episode Highlights "There are no dysfunctional systems. They all produce." "These people just lived out their faith." "The precognitive and the unconscious realities of our life are stronger than our words." "Nothing is as formative as the organizational culture you're in." About Tod Bolsinger Tod Bolsinger is co-founder and principal of AE Sloan Leadership, a coaching and consulting firm working with churches, nonprofits, universities, and businesses in seasons of change. He is associate professor of leadership formation at Fuller Theological Seminary, where he earned an MDiv and PhD and served six years as a vice president.

The history of immigration in England is far older than many people realise. Immigration in Tudor England, medieval England and even Roman Britain helped shape the nation we know today. People often talk about immigration as though it is a modern issue, but England's history tells a very different story. In this video, we explore over a thousand years of migration to England, from the Romans, Anglo-Saxons, Vikings and Normans to medieval Jewish communities, Flemish weavers, Italian bankers, Tudor refugees, African residents and Muslim diplomats. You'll discover how immigrants helped shape England's economy, culture and society, and how concerns about jobs, wages and foreign competition were being debated centuries ago. We'll examine events such as the York massacre of 1190, the anti-immigrant riots of Evil May Day in 1517, the arrival of Huguenot refugees, the story of John Blanke, Henry VIII's Black royal trumpeter, and England's diplomatic links with Morocco and the Ottoman Empire. History doesn't tell us what immigration policy should be today, but it can challenge assumptions about the past. Was England ever truly isolated? What does the historical evidence actually reveal? Let me know your thoughts in the comments.   #History #EnglishHistory #TudorHistory #MedievalHistory #BritishHistory #BlackTudors #ImmigrationHistory #HistoryDocumentary #HenryVIII #ElizabethI

In this episode, we step into the blood-soaked and politically fractured world of 16th-century France through the life of Catherine de' Medici. Raised amid the intrigue of Renaissance Italy and thrust into the French throne room, Catherine became one of the most controversial women in European history. As Protestant Reformation ideas spread across Europe and the Catholic Counter-Reformation hardened divisions, France erupted into decades of religious violence between Catholics and Huguenots. We explore how Catherine tried to preserve both her family dynasty and the unity of France through political maneuvering, shifting alliances, and fragile compromises—yet repeatedly found herself swept into escalating chaos."Source: "Famous Men of the 16th & 17th Century" https://amzn.to/4a93ha1

Host Hazel Baker and Westminster guide Philip Scott record in Soho Square, tracing its shift from Middlesex countryside and royal hunting ground—where “Soho!” was cried—to a late-1600s development originally called King Square for Charles II, whose weathered statue remains after being moved and later returned. They highlight residents and landmarks, including Mary Seacole's blue plaque and her Crimean War work after being refused by Florence Nightingale's nurses: she built the British Hotel, treated soldiers and went to battlefields, later publishing her 1857 autobiography and receiving a benefit concert. They discuss Seacole's rediscovery from the 1980s and her statue near Parliament, the square's 1925 mock-Tudor gardener's hut and tunnel myth, Huguenot immigration and the French-language Protestant church, Theresa Cornelis and Casanova, and trivia about entertainer Danny La Rue, buried near Seacole. The episode ends promoting a Soho walking tour.

Nous sommes le 23 juillet 1562, à Pontoise, à environ vingt-cinq kilomètres au nord-ouest de Paris. Ce jour-là, Jean Boicervoise est mis à mort, sur la place de Grève. L'homme est le lieutenant civil du bailli de la cité, il est aussi seigneur de Rougemont. Il est accusé d'avoir voulu livrer la ville aux protestants, très précisément d'avoir voulu y installer un temple. Un chroniqueur rapporte : « Le bourreau ne l'eut pas presque exécuté que les enfants prirent, entre les mains, le corps mort et le trainèrent parmi la boue, le déchirèrent en beaucoup de pièces, et puis le jetèrent à la rivière ». Durant les affrontements des guerres de Religion qui ont déchiré la France de la deuxième moitié du XVIe siècle, des enfants catholiques, âgés de six à douze ans, ont participé aux massacres des hérétiques. En 1561 déjà, alors que les guerres n'ont pas encore réellement commencé, on note des troubles en plusieurs endroits du royaume : le 9 octobre, à Auxerre, le 26 décembre à Lyon, des petits enfants s'en prennent aux huguenots en leur lançant des pierres, un témoin dit même avoir entendu des coups de pistolet. Alors, comment expliquer la présence de ces jeunes, devenus tortionnaires, au cœur de ces violences fanatiques ? C'est ce que nous allons tenter de comprendre. Avec nous : Denis Crouzet, professeur d'histoire moderne à Sorbonne-Université. Sujets traités : Jean Boicervoise, enfants, bourreaux, massacres, hérétiques, huguenots Merci pour votre écoute Un Jour dans l'Histoire, c'est également en direct tous les jours de la semaine de 13h15 à 14h30 sur www.rtbf.be/lapremiere Retrouvez tous les épisodes d'Un Jour dans l'Histoire sur notre plateforme Auvio.be :https://auvio.rtbf.be/emission/5936 Intéressés par l'histoire ?

Huguenot Networks: Truth and Secrecy in Sixteenth-Century Europe (Cambridge UP, 2025), Penny Robert's latest book, takes us into the world of secret intelligence gathering during the French Wars of Religion. Robert's discovery of the interrogation record of a Huguenot merchant, Jean Tivinat, arrested in May 1570 for attempting to secretly carry letters to England, unspools into a broader story about the intersections between confessional affiliations, international affairs, knowledge, trust, and networking in a tumultuous time. As she argues, clandestine communication was crucial to maintaining ties amongst a widely dispersed and threatened religious community. Huguenot Networks is a lively read and sure to appeal to anyone interested in the history of espionage, Huguenots, international affairs in Elizabethan England, or the French Wars of Religion. Elspeth Currie is a PhD Candidate in the Department of History at Boston College where she studies women's intellectual history in early modern Europe. Learn more about your ad choices.

The Bapedi have a rich and textured history, as with most of South Africa's past, where religion and tradition are entwined to create a consciousness of life that is attractive to the naturally curious. Today, part of Limpopo Province bushveld contains private game parks with Bapedi and other African names — including Moya which has three meanings. It is used for wind, or breath, or the soul, roughly translated. It is something they say which cannot be seen, but can be heard. When a sick person wheezes, you know they're alive, because you can hear their soul, it has not departed. At night, when there is stillness, and you pick up the faint sounds of someone speaking, and upon investigation you find noone, then you know it is the soul of a dead person. Parts of your body are Moya, the lungs, blood, heart, liver, kidneys, and sex organs, your head and your hair. It is also these parts which are mostly associated with or susceptible to, disease. Your Moya is like your iris, or your fingerprint, there is noone else who has a copy of your Moya. While humans cannot live without Moya, sometimes it can live without their seriti, your shadow and reflection but this is the supernatural representation. The Bapedi word for shadow and a reflection in water or a mirror is Moriti. Your Seriti is created at birth, when you cast your first shadow. For extremely traditional Bapedi, it is bad manners to step on anothers shadow, or allow your shadow to fall on someone else. Traditional healers therefore won't work at midday when the sun is directly overhead, because it is said, the spirits of the dead are sleeping. Chief Sekhukhune of the Bapedi knew this when he built his fortress in a steep sided narrow valley south of the Olifants River at what was called his Stat. While the British were focusing on the Zulu's in 1879, Sekhukhune was sparring with other English authorities along the Olifants, and the towns of Lydenburg and Middelburg were reinforced. The Bapedi Chief wanted to expand his territory across the Steelpoort River and his raiding parties were bothering the Boers there. His position was further strengthened by a drought which meant British and Boer commandos could not take to the field, there wasn't enough grass and water for their oxen and horses. The dreaded horse sickness had also broken out, further complicating the Transvaal Government's plans.According to the blueprint for the Transvaal that had been devised by administrator Theophilos Shepstone and Cape Governor Sir Bartle Frere, the defeat of the Bapedi would be proof to the Boers of the British good faith. It would demonstrate that British rule was a blessing. To their considerable astonishment, this act actually put the final nail in the coffin of confederation as the Cambridge History of South Africa puts it. Since the British took control of the Cape in 1805, their policy had been grounded in the belief that once the won allegiance of the Dutch and Huguenot settler population, peace and prosperity would be guaranteed.

Maxine Bezuidenhout, Chief Director of Traffic Management at the Western Cape Government, speaks to Africa Melane from the Huguenot Tunnel, providing a real-time look at traffic volumes as the Easter weekend getaway begins. With thousands typically leaving Cape Town for destinations across the country, she reflects on whether this year’s exodus appears quieter than usual, amid ongoing pressure from rising fuel costs, and what trends authorities are observing on one of the province’s busiest routes.

Dr. C. N. Willborn, pastor of Covenant PCA in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, speaks about the life, ministry, and enduring theological legacy of John Lafayette Girardeau—a figure often hidden in the shadow of Thornwell and Dabney, yet towering in pastoral warmth, covenant theology, and confessional clarity. Girardeau emerges as a remarkably gifted scholar, a pastor deeply loved by both enslaved and free Black congregants, and a theologian who married doctrinal precision with heartfelt pastoral care. Through stories of his early intellectual formation, his ministry at Zion Presbyterian Church, his courageous stand against segregation in 1874, and his role in shaping debates on adoption, the will, worship, and evolution controversies, listeners gain a moving portrait of a man captivated by Christ and devoted to the communion of the saints. This episode invites us to look beyond caricatures of Southern Presbyterianism and see a pastor who was shaped by his Huguenot and Scottish heritage, attentive to the spiritual well-being of the marginalized, and unwavering in his conviction that the church must be governed by Scripture and formed by a robust federal theology. Girardeau's story not only expands our understanding of American Presbyterian history—it encourages believers today to pursue ministry marked by doctrinal fidelity, Christ-centered preaching, and sacrificial love.

The revocation of the Edict of Nantes led more than 200,000 Huguenots to flee France after 1685. Many settled close to the country's frontiers, where their leaders published apologetic texts arguing for their right to return to France and be recognized as French citizens. By framing their refugee experiences intentionally, even using the term "refugee" to describe their diaspora, Huguenots profoundly influenced Enlightenment debates on citizenship and religious tolerance.  Write to Return: Huguenot Refugees on the Frontiers of the French Enlightenment (McGill-Queen's, 2024) is a cultural history of these Huguenot apologetics in which Bryan Banks examines the work of four authors: Pierre Jurieu, Pierre Bayle, Antoine Court, and Jean-Paul Rabaut Saint-Étienne. Each author advanced his arguments using key ideas of the Enlightenment, appealing to reason to argue for freedom of conscience all while appealing to emotion in his descriptions of Huguenot victimhood. The authors' campaign succeeded. In 1789, France's revolutionary National Assembly granted repatriation to all expelled Huguenots, offering them citizenship regardless of place of birth or baptism, and even permitting them to reclaim ancestral lands.  International refugees played an overlooked role in shaping discourse around the nation and nationalism in the eighteenth century. Write to Return shows how early modern refugees could advocate for their interests, build international networks, and even craft a new collective identity. By presenting themselves as loyal citizens of France, Huguenots were at the forefront of constructing a French national identity.

Early modern London has long been recognised as a centre of religious diversity, yet the role of the home as the setting of religious practice for all faiths has been largely overlooked. In contrast, Birth, Death, and Domestic Religion in Early Modern London (Cambridge UP, 2025), Dr. Emily Vine offers the first examination of domestic religion in London during a period of intense religious change, between the Gunpowder Plot of 1605 and the Gordon Riots of 1780. Dr. Vine considers both Christian and Jewish practices, comparing the experiences of Catholics, Sephardi and Ashkenazi Jews, Huguenots, and conforming and nonconforming Protestants alike. Through its focus on the crowded metropolis as a place where households of different faiths coexisted, this study explores how religious communities operated beyond and in parallel to places of public worship. Dr. Vine demonstrates how families of different faiths experienced childbirth and death, arguing that homes became 'permeable' settings of communal religion at critical moments of the life cycle. By focusing on practices beyond the synagogue, meeting house, or church, this book demonstrates the vitality of collective devotion and kinship throughout the long eighteenth century. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

A royal wedding meant to bring peace… instead ended in one of the bloodiest massacres of the 16th century. On 18th August 1572, Henry of Navarre—leader of the French Huguenots and future King Henry IV—married Margaret of Valois, daughter of King Henry II and Catherine de' Medici, at Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris. This marriage was supposed to heal France's religious divisions between Protestants and Catholics. But just six days later, the streets of Paris ran red with blood in the St Bartholomew's Day Massacre. - Admiral Gaspard de Coligny, the Huguenot leader, was shot in an attempted assassination… - Before dawn on 24th August, he was murdered and thrown from a window… - What followed was three days of brutal killings in Paris, spreading to towns and cities across France. Between 10,000 and 30,000 Protestants were slaughtered in one of the darkest chapters of the Reformation. In today's episode of On This Day in Tudor History, I explore: - The political and religious stakes behind the marriage - The attempted assassination that sparked panic - The horrific wave of violence that shocked Europe - What became of Henry of Navarre and Margaret of Valois  Have you heard of the St Bartholomew's Day Massacre before?

David de Boer returns to the podcast to talk to Jana Byars about his first book, The Early Modern Dutch Press in the Age of Religious Persecution (Oxford UP, 2023). This book is available open source here. For victims of persecution around the world, attracting international media attention for their plight is often a matter of life and death. This study takes us back to the news revolution of seventeenth-century Europe, when people first discovered in the press a powerful new weapon to combat religiously inspired maltreatments, executions, and massacres. To affect and mobilize foreign audiences, confessional minorities and their advocates faced an acute dilemma, one that we still grapple with today: how to make people care about distant suffering? David de Boer argues that by answering this question, they laid the foundations of a humanitarian culture in Europe. As consuming news became an everyday practice for many Europeans, the Dutch Republic emerged as an international hub of printed protest against religious violence. De Boer traces how a diverse group of people, including Waldensians refugees, Huguenot ministers, Savoyard office holders, and many others, all sought access to the Dutch printing presses in their efforts to raise transnational solidarity for their cause. By generating public outrage, calling out rulers, and pressuring others to intervene, producers of printed opinion could have a profound impact on international relations. But crying out against persecution also meant navigating a fraught and dangerous political landscape, marked by confessional tension, volatile alliances, and incessant warfare. Opinion makers had to think carefully about the audiences they hoped to reach through pamphlets, periodicals, and newspapers. But they also had to reckon with the risk of reaching less sympathetic readers outside their target groups. By examining early modern publicity strategies, de Boer deepens our understanding of how people tried to shake off the spectre of religious violence that had haunted them for generations, and create more tolerant societies, governed by the rule of law, reason, and a sense of common humanity.

“H” is for Huguenots. Huguenots are French Calvinists.

“H” is for Huguenot Church (Charleston). Located at 140 Church Street, the French Protestant Huguenot church was the first Gothic Revival ecclesiastical building erected in Charleston.

At a time when Protestants were fiercely persecuted in France, a young woman named Marie Durand was imprisoned for her faith and remained in prison under terrible conditions for 38 years. Her letters to pastors and influential people were instrumental in closing the prison, and her letters to her niece express the faith that helped Marie stay true to Christ. Join Sophia, Emma, and Grace as they discuss Marie Durand and the Huguenots with their guest, Rev. Campbell Markham, minister of Scots' Church in Fremantle, Western Australia, and author of an upcoming book on Marie Durand. Thanks to the generosity of our friends at Reformation Heritage Books, we are pleased to offer a copy of Simonetta Carr's biography about Marie Durand to one of our young listeners.
