This work looks at how Protestants in southern France fared during the religious wars of the latter half of the 16th century. Whilst much has been written about Huguenots in the north of the country where Calvinism ultimately failed to gain a substantial permanent foothold, those in the south of France have received scant attention. This book redresses the balance by focusing on the far more resilient Protestant communities in the south, and in particular the Huguenot bastion of Montauban.

The 16th-century French religious book project has many aspects, and many preoccupations, as the very varied papers that make up this collection make clear. At its core is the question that remains central to the concerns of all those who study Protestant and Catholic Reformations. What motivated the movements of mass activism of the 16th century that inspired and lay behind the three generations of turbulent religious agitation that followed the eruption of Luther's movement in Germany? In addressing such questions, France makes a particularly interesting case study.
