In the late fifteenth century, Burgundy was incorporated in the
kingdom of France. This, coupled with the advent of Protestantism
in the early sixteenth century, opened up new avenues for
participation in public life by ordinary Burgundians and led to
considerably greater interaction between the elites and the
ordinary people. Mack Holt examines the relationship between the
ruling and popular classes from Burgundy's re-incorporation into
France in 1477 until the Lanturelu riot in Dijon in 1630, focusing
on the local wine industry. Indeed, the vineyard workers were
crucial in turning back the tide of Protestantism in the province
until 1630 when, following royal attempts to reduce the level of
popular participation in public affairs, Louis XIII tried to remove
them from the city altogether. More than just a local study, this
book shows how the popular classes often worked together with local
elites to shape policies that affected them.
