- The French Wars of Religion was a conflict between the Huguenots, Privy Council and Catholics that lasted for almost 40 years. The onset of the Reformation and conclusion of the Italian Wars lead to major tensions across the country. With the formation of the regency council called the Privy Council major political and religious factions fought for power. The conflict began in ernest in 1562 with the Massacre at Vassy.

Well that was probably one of the most complex and lengthy civil wars possibly ever
its a very ambitious project to try and cover any civil war in a map video, let alone one as complex as the french wars of religion, unfortunately that complexity appears to have been overwhelming to make a video on, especially a video where the only source is wikipedia according to the pastebin, i am going to be very critical below but i want you to know i admire your ambition, even if i feel it largely exceeded your grasp
some observations:
1) the 'privy council' was not 'established in 1560, it had been one of the royal councils (alongside the secret council and council of affairs) going back decades
2) calvin would be horrified at the idea that his ideas challenged feudalism, he persistantly advocated for obedience to ones feudal superior
3) protestant infleunce in la rochelle and rouen aren't really comparable, protestant domination of rouen lasted around 7 months after which the city became violently anti-protestant, protestant domination of la rochelle lasted around 60 years
4) the 'house of medici' was not really a faction at the court, the only member of the house at the court was catherine, and she desn't really represent the medici family, so much as the royal family, i'd assume what you meant to say was the house of montmorency?
5) the massacre of wassy was not 'government forces gunning down protestants in the streets', the duc de guise and his personal retainers attacked a barn in which protestants were worshipping, also orléans was not taken by an 'uprising' but rather the forces of condé that captured it from outside
6) first war of religion began in 1562 not 1561, but i suspect this one is a typo
7) i don't really think the massacres of saint bartholomews day can be classified as a genocide but i suppose some historians would use this word for them
8) the war of the three henri's can onyl be considered a partial victory for the protestants, navarre converted to catholicism and reconciled with most of the major leaders of the cathloic league, indeed many of his old protestant backers like the duc de bouillon turned on him in the 1600s and began scheming
9) the uprising of 1588 (presumably referring to the day of the barricades) did not depose henri, he was just forced to make humiliating concessions to the catholic league, which maintained their technical loyalty to him, it was only when the king assassinated the duc de guise in december 1588 that the catholic league would go on to consider henri deposed (in 1589)
now we move to the map sections, where criticism is a lot more complicated
1) the depiction of all this land as belonging to the valois-angoulême is largely inaccurate, france was still to a considerable degree a feudal patchwork (including with sovereign principalities inside its border like sedan, joinville etc.), i wouldn't make this criticism if not for the fact that the marquisate of saluzzo and kingdom of navarre are depicted as devolved, if they're devolved, then the duchy of albret, county of eu and hundreds of other counties, baronies, duchies, marquisates etc. also need to be devolved
2) the territory controlled by the rebels of the southern conspiracy of amboise is far too broad, it implies they controlled a lot of cities that they did not,, also it overlooks the fact royal forces under saint-andré, the marquis de villars, la motte-gondrin and the papal commander serbollini swept through most of regions in october and forced the protestant commanders into exile in geneva
3) i don't understand why picardie is taken over by guise/montmorency in april 1561, the province was a protestant stronghold, and during 1561 the government of the province was given to the protestant prince of condé, montmorency is the governor of languedoc, and the guise family are governors of bourgogne and dauphiné
4) in january 1562 almost all of guyenne defects to the protestants, i don’t really know why as there are no major events of protestant conquest or acquisition in the region during January, in march ‘guise/montmorency’ expands to cover champagne, unclear to me why? is it because of the massacre of wassy, that doesn’t make much sense, guise was hounded by protestant communities as he moved from wassy to paris
5) once cities begin defecting to the rebel camp in april it is hard to make specific suggestions as they will become too numerous, i will stick to one broad one for the moment, rebels are given too much control of the countryside, which was usually more dominated by royalist catholics, the rebel strategy was to usurp control of tens of cities, also there was considerably more royalist controlled territories in the south than just bordeaux and toulouse, the lieutenant-general of languedoc joyeuse operated out of narbonne if memory serves as just one example,
6) by the same means the destruction of rebel control in guyenne is too rapid and total, they are depicted as all disappearing in september, however the battle of vergt that broke the army of duras was not until october, moreover the royal reconquests of angers, tours and blois are not shown as ever having occurred, and coligny’s normandie campaign of 1563 that conquered caen, bayeux etc. is likewise not illustrated,
7) while there was certainly some tardiness in handing back towns, the widespread territory ascribed to the protestants beyond the peace of amboise in march 1563 is anachronistic, royal authority was re-established in most of the south quite quickly, unclear to me why instead all the territories are left in protestant rebel hands until 1567, including the territories in central france?
8) the picard league was established in 1576, and was not a force of territorial control in 1567, it is also a bit strange to ascribe all the little southern catholic leagues as being part of a picard league?
8) i no longer have any real understanding of what leads to the ascribing of territories to the protestants, it doesn’t seem to be related to where their armies were, or the cities they controlled, i fear this project was biting off more than could be eaten, also why is the prince bishopric of liège under direct valois control? why are the invasions of the german mercenary armies not featured,
9) france and spain were at peace in 1573, i don’t know why they’re highlighted all of a sudden, why do the protestants still control all those central territories in 1574 ;-; they lost control of bourges in august 1562, blois in july 1562 and orléans in april 1563, i’m afraid i cant go on,
as up top, ,i'd like to emphasise even if i don't think the video worked out in its execution, its clear effort went into it with a desire to inform, and those are good impulses
You clearly have problems.
I dreamed this video would exist and, finally, it exists.
This is amazing, I was really looking for something like this!
Small Typo notice, 0:44 says Louis XVI (16) revoked Nante, and not Louis XIV(14).
Other wise, amazing video!
And too the Protestants (as Huguenots either fled to Panama, South Africa, England, Germany or the Low Countries or forcefully converted) would have equal civil rights before the French Revolution in 1787 with l’Édit de Versailles by Louis XVI.
Can you make the German religion wars and Dutch war of independence?
Do you remember me? You responded to my comment in fallout equestria video
where did all your old videos go
Hi bro, can you do the Colombian conflict from 1964-present plzzzz
Nice video, but do you realize that Huguenot is a term like Protestant? There were Calvinist Huguenots, but also Lutheran Huguenots.
BTW, one of the side effects of the French religious wars was the various Huguenots trying to settle in Americas long before the English?
France Antarctique (Rio De Janeiro, Brazil) 1555 to 1567 - destroyed by infighting between Huguenots (Lutherans vs Calvinists) vs French Catholics, and then by the Portuguese Catholics defending the treaty of Tordesillas. Some moved to:
Charlesfort French Huguenots (Protestants) established this small settlement (on Parris Island South Carolina)1562-1563 when it was abandoned except for 1 man. Uncertain (differing accounts) if he was killed by Spanish or rescued by 2nd expedition from
FORT CAROLINE. French Huguenots (Protestants) established this small settlement (north of St Augustine, Florida) in 1564 - 1565 when Spanish wiped it out in turn. The Catholic Spanish colonized St Augustine, Florida to stop these French Huguenots.
De Gourgue' French Expedition 1567 in turn came and wiped out the Spanish at fort San Mateo/was Fort Caroline. Then
Charlesfort II 1577-1578 French returned to Parris Island, got shipwrecked & later wiped out by Indians and Spanish again.
After that the Catholic Spanish put a series of missions in what would be Georgia, S & N Carolina and even in Virginia near where Jamestown would later be founded. But the Indians fought them, and all the missions were abandoned after France finished its Religious war and was firmly Catholic. So it was all empty when the English came....
Sonunda.
2024 ???
I would love a tutorial
One must assert the true faith with zealotry!
"Begone Prot"
"Begone Cath"
And that's how we got here
The Catholic Faith will prevail in France!
