The Godly Rebellion: Parisian Cures and the Religious Fronde, 1652-1662 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780807873755)

This intriguing study shows that a religious revolt, spurred by deep divisions within the church, followed the princely and parlementary rebellions of the French civil war known as the Fronde. The curés vied with the crown, the bishops, and the Jesuits for control of the parishes. In examining the Fronde, Golden demonstrates the connection between Janenism, Richerism, and ecclesiastical politics and how it shaped the rule of Louis XIV and the role of the curés in the French Revolution.
