AB This volume of essays reflects recent research on the interplay of religion and politics in the period from roughly the abjuration and coronation of Henri IV (1593–1594) to the defeat of the rebel Huguenot armies in 1629. Though the essays are narrowly focused on disparate subjects, two general themes emerge. First, the authors argue that the growth of absolute monarchy and the growth of Catholic renewal went hand in hand in this period, as the monarchy and the Catholic church forged an alliance after 1598 to cement the loyalties of their Catholic subjects. Second, the essays also stress a greater continuity between the policies of Henri IV and Louis XIII, especially how they forged a Bourbon style of kingship in linking religion and politics.
