| Summary: | The Edict of Nantes (1598) attempted to restrict the legal memory of France's Wars of Religion and thereby regulate future relations between Huguenots and Catholics. Criminal lawsuits heard in the early seventeenth century by the Paris parlement's chambre de l'edit-a special tribunal established to adjudicate litigation involving Huguenots-illustrate this complex policy of oubliance, which provoked litigants and lawyers to debate the "remembrance" of wartime events before royal magistrates. As a result, the sixteenth-century past was sometimes legally revised but not forgotten; moreover, the chamber's activities promoted a collective political identity centered on the French monarchical state, even as they reflected the Huguenots' vulnerable position within that state. |
