This groundbreaking book explores the migration of Calvinist
refugees in Europe during the Reformation, across a century of
persecution, exile and minority existence. Ole Peter Grell follows
the fortunes of some of the earliest Reformed merchant families,
forced to flee from the Tuscan city of Lucca during the 1560s,
through their journey to France during the Wars of Religion to the
St Bartholomew Day Massacre and their search for refuge in Sedan.
He traces the lives of these interconnected families over three
generations as they settled in European cities from Geneva to
London, marrying into the diaspora of Reformed merchants. Based on
a potent combination of religion, commerce and family networks,
these often wealthy merchants and highly skilled craftsmen were
amongst the most successful of early modern capitalists. Brethren
in Christ shows how this interconnected network, reinforced through
marriage and enterprise, forged the backbone of international
Calvinism in Reformation Europe.
