The house of Coligny-Châtillon has experienced almost everything in less than two hundred years: rise, glory, decline, condemnation, honors, humiliation, exile, precariousness, prestige, revenge and fame. This presentation from Nicolas Breton's thesis will allow us to retrace the journeys of the members of this well-known house, but paradoxically little studied. It will highlight their political and religious commitments to restore their mechanisms, study their forms and thus understand their scope and draw up their consequences.
From the mountains to the royal necropolis
Finally, the conference will allow us to understand what could have led, in the space of six generations, these men and women from the Bressan mountains to the royal necropolis of Saint-Denis, via the gallows of Montfaucon. Associate and doctor in modern history, associate researcher at the Temos-UMR9016 laboratory at the University of Le Mans, Nicolas Breton will return to the history of this Protestant family on Sunday November 17.
Sunday November 17, 2024 at 2:30 p.m. at the Jean-Rivierre center, located at number 5 Impasse du Temple in La Couarde. Free participation.
