The province of Roussillon was acquired by France in 1659, just as
Louis XIV reached his majority. The region was peopled by Catalans,
a group with their own language, religious values, political
traditions, and cultural patterns. Louis XIV and his ministers
sought to accomplish two goals in the province. First they wanted
to compel the Roussillonnais to accept French political supremacy
as legitimate, and second they desired to eradicate the Catalan
cultural identity in the province. This study examines the means by
which the French chose to pursue their goals, and the methods of
resistance employed by the inhabitants of Roussillon. It concludes
with an examination of why the French ultimately failed to
acculturate the province despite their success in asserting their
political authority.
