The history of flight and exile of Catholics during the Dutch
Revolt has long been overlooked. This book explores the forced
migration of thousands of Catholic men and women during one of the
largest religious wars of the early modern period. By mapping the
Catholic diaspora across sixteenth-century Europe, Geert Janssen
explains how exile worked as a catalyst of religious radicalisation
and transformed the worldviews, networks and confessional
identities of the refugees. Like their Protestant counterparts, the
displaced Catholic communities became the mobilising forces behind
a militant International Catholicism. The Catholic exile experience
thus facilitated the permanent separation of the northern and
southern Netherlands. Drawing on diaries, letters and evidence from
material culture, this book offers a penetrating picture of the
lives of early modern refugees and their agency in the
Counter-Reformation.
