The course of the French Wars of Religion, commonly portrayed as a
series of civil wars, was profoundly shaped by foreign actors. Many
German Protestants in particular felt compelled to intervene. In
Germany and the French Wars of Religion, 1560-1572 Jonas van Tol
examines how Protestant German audiences understood the conflict in
France and why they deemed intervention necessary. He demonstrates
that conflicting stories about the violence in France fused with
local religious debates and news from across Europe leading to a
surprising range of interpretations of the nature of the French
Wars of Religion. As a consequence, German Lutherans found
themselves on opposing sides on the battlefields of France.
