Abstract: 

The 1570s marked a turning point in the history of the Low Countries. While civil war raged, a range of ideas and plans for potential socio-political change emerged, coexisting with those that would ultimately determine the region’s long-term future. The way historians view this period is still influenced by Belgian and Dutch national narratives. In Belgium, this moment is seen as a turning point that led inevitably to the restoration of a Catholic monarchy and the creation of a centralised state, reflecting the model adopted by the newly formed Belgian state in 1831. In contrast, these years are still understood in the Netherlands as inevitably leading to the independence of a Protestant nation and decentralized republic – a prerequisite for the country’s emergence as a great power in the 17th century, epitomized by the “Dutch Golden Age”. However, the division between the Northern Low Countries, republican and dominated by Calvinists, and the Southern Low Countries, monarchist and Catholic, was by no means inevitable in the 1570s. Other avenues remained open to those involved. Consider Philippe Marnix de Sainte-Aldegonde, for example, who, at the Imperial Diet of Worms in 1578, sought to persuade the princes of the Empire to support the Low Countries within a kind of imperial league. His recommendation of Matthias of Habsburg as the new governor-general could ultimately have led to the region being re-anchored within the Empire. We should also remember Maximilien Vilain, the governor of Lille, who, at the time of the diplomatic meeting in Breda (1575), proposed a project of minimal religious tolerance to King Philip II in order to restore the country’s prosperity. Vilain suggested that the king’s Calvinist subjects would be permitted to resettle with the status of foreign merchants. Also, in 1578, William of Orange drafted a plan for religious coexistence, hoping that this would keep his broad coalition against Habsburg authority intact. Eventually, the States-General left it to the discretion of the cities to introduce a religievrede. Between 1578 and 1581, about thirty cities did so, although these arrangements were short-lived. The period’s key players had to be both intellectually and politically resourceful; they did not want to see their “country” destroyed by foreign armies and economic crisis. While the brutal policy of the Duke of Alba polarised Calvinists and Catholics, it also created a need for both sides to find a political solution to end the devastation. Attributing the root of violence to foreigners, often the Spanish, was one way to find common ground. This also pushed the actors to devise plans to end the crisis and restore the country’s liberties and economic vitality. Also crucial in this respect is the role of Protestant exiles, many of whom returned to the Low Countries after the Pacification of Ghent (1576), which had promised a settlement of both military and religious affairs. We consider “the Decade of Possibilities” in a chronologically broad sense, as a period beginning with the iconoclastic wave of 1566 and ending with the Estates General’s act of abjuration in 1581, which declared Philip II forfeited of his sovereignty over the Low Countries. We will therefore examine the multiplicity of political possibilities that emerged during this period in terms of ideas, discourses and actions (assemblies of the Estates, diplomatic meetings and missions, initiatives at the local and regional level). This will involve exploring these possibilities and assess the motives and backgrounds of the individuals and groups involved, as well as outlining the forms of their projects and examining why they did not come to fruition. Our ambition is therefore to contribute to the history of possible futures that never came to pass, but which seemed viable to those involved at the time. The research seminar participates in ongoing historical reflections about promising political initiatives that failed, and about their hidden or indirect but lasting influences.

 (image source: Stanford Center for Law and History - Programs and Centers - Stanford Law School) 

Saskia Lettmaier, Professor of Law and Global Legal History at the University of Hamburg, will present her paper, "Marriage and Madness: The Origins of the Marriage of Lunatics Act of 1742"

Abstract:

In 2021, the Parliament of the Irish Republic—as the last legislature in Great Britain and Ireland—abolished an Act to Prevent the Marriage of Lunatics. This Act had its origins in a British statute of 1742, which was subsequently extended to Ireland and was in force in all parts of the British isles from 1811 until 1959, when it was abolished for England and Wales. The Act has been almost completely ignored by (legal) history. Quite undeservedly so, for it may claim to be the first English general act since the Elizabethan settlement to interfere with the traditional canon law of marriage, predating the much more famous Hardwicke Marriage Act by more than a decade. It rendered absolutely void the marriages of persons who had been found lunatic by commission under the Great Seal or whose persons and estates had been placed under trustees by Act of Parliament. Such persons could no longer contract a valid marriage after 24 June 1742, not even during a lucid interval, unless they had first been declared of sound mind by the Lord Chancellor or other competent authority. Yet there is little evidence to suggest that unsuitable marriages by lunatics constituted a widespread social problem in mid-eighteenth-century England. Given the English reluctance to pass general acts in this period, why was the esoteric topic of lunatics’ marriage singled out for general legislative treatment, rather than being dealt with—like the thorny issue of divorce—through private acts on a case-by-case basis? This paper seeks to answer that puzzle. In doing so, it explores the intersection of marriage law, property protection, elite family strategy, and parliamentary power, taking us into the worlds of high society and high politics in eighteenth-century Britain.

SEMINAR: Patrick ARABEYRE, "Le droit par l’image : l’exemple d’un manuscrit enluminé bolonais de la fin du XIIIᵉ siècle" [Les trésors de Richelieu] (Paris: BnF Richelieu, 17 MAR 2026)

 

(image: BnF Richelieu; source: BnF)

Abstract:

Centre majeur de l’enseignement du droit au Moyen Âge, la ville de Bologne se caractérise par la production de manuscrits juridiques. La BnF en possède une collection de premier plan, ce qui a été bien souligné par des travaux récents. Un exemplaire du Digeste Infortiatum glosé par Accurse, auteur de la Magna glossa, constitue un fleuron de ce corpus. Cette intervention soulignera la transposition du langage juridique en langage figuratif dans les manuscrits de droit romain enluminés du XIIIe au XVe siècle dans la cité universitaire.

On the seminar cycle:

La Bibliothèque nationale de France, l’Institut national d’histoire de l’art et l’École nationale des chartes - PSL organisent la 14e édition du cycle « Trésors de Richelieu », où conservateurs, chargés de collections, historiens de l’art, du spectacle, de la musique, de la littérature et spécialistes des textes partagent leurs savoirs avec un plus large public. À chaque conférence, des œuvres d’art, des manuscrits, des costumes ou des partitions musicales sortent exceptionnellement des magasins de la BnF, de l’INHA et de l’ENC, pour être présentés en direct à l’aide d’une caméra, qui en reproduit les plus infimes détails sur le grand écran de l’auditorium Jacqueline Lichtenstein. 

On the speaker:

Archiviste paléographe (prom. 1987), il a été adjoint au directeur des Archives départementales de la Côte-d’Or, puis chargé de recherche au CNRS auprès du Centre Georges-Chevrier de l’Université de Bourgogne. Il est titulaire d’un doctorat en droit et d’une habilitation à diriger des recherches en droit. Il a été élu en 2007 professeur à l'École nationale des chartes. Sa thèse d’École nationale des chartes a porté sur les écrits politiques de l’archevêque de Toulouse Bernard de Rosier (1400-1475), sa thèse de doctorat sur l’œuvre politique du canoniste toulousain Guillaume Benoît (1455-1516) – publiée sous le titre Les idées politiques à Toulouse à la veille de la Réforme en 2003 – et son habilitation sur l’historiographie, les idées politiques et l’enseignement du droit en France aux xive-xvie siècle. Il est rattaché à l’École doctorale conjointe de l’École nationale des chartes - PSL et de l’Université Paris Sorbonne. Il a été directeur du Centre Jean-Mabillon. À partir des Archives personnelles de Gabriel Le Bras (données à l’EHESS et déposées aux Archives Nationales) et des Archives du CNRS, une petite équipe associant l’ENS, l’ENC (Katia Weidenfeld et Patrick Arabeyre) et l’EHESS, se propose d’analyser les documents de ces fonds et d’organiser en 2018 une journée d’études, avec le concours de la Société d'histoire religieuse de la France. Lancement en 2018 du Séminaire "Humanisme juridique" avec l'IHD de Paris II.

On the speaker:

Archiviste paléographe (prom. 2010) et docteur en histoire de l’art, Sabine Maffre est l’auteure d’une thèse portant sur l’iconographie de Caïn et Abel en France au Moyen Âge soutenue à l’Université de Poitiers en 2023 sous la direction de Cécile Voyer.
