Beyond Belief: Surviving the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes in
France presents a demographic study of the behaviors of Protestants
and Catholics in a town in southeastern France between 1650 and
1715. The Protestants in Loriol did not endure the full array of
horrors experienced by so many French Protestants and survived
pressure to convert until the Revocation itself. The entire
community managed to minimize the interference of the crown and the
Catholic Church in their affairs through the end of Louis XIV's
reign. Their story speaks of compromises by individuals and groups
of both confessions that buffered the community from royal force.
It sheds light on the layers of cooperation by elites and those of
more humble backgrounds, upon which the government of Louis XIV
relied to achieve the outward appearance of conformity. Beyond
Belief addresses current and continuing debates into the nature of
confessionalization and the nature of royal authority under Louis
XIV. Examination of the behaviors of Catholics and Protestants and
analysis of the degree to which their behaviors corresponded with
the teachings of their respective church reveal that the people of
Loriol, particularly Protestants, understood the expectations of
their religion and behaved accordingly prior to the Revocation. In
the aftermath of the Revocation, former members of the Protestant
congregation conformed their behavior to the requirements of the
Catholic Church and the crown without fully compromising their
Protestant beliefs. Beyond Belief shows that the extension of state
power, and its limitations, resulted from the cooperation of a
broad range of people, rather than focusing on elites. The
experience of Loriol shows that a large portion of the community
was involved in the tacit acceptance of Protestants, a position
that served those of both confessions by minimizing the
interference of outside civil and religious authorities.
