Notes:

Edict of Nantes

The Edict of Nantes (sometimes spelled Edict of Nantz) was issued on April 13, 1598 by Henry IV of France to grant the Calvinist Protestants of France (also known as Huguenots) substantial rights in a nation still considered essentially Catholic. The main concern was civil unity, and the Edict separated civil from religious unity, treated some Protestants for the first time as more than mere schismatics and heretics, and opened a path for secularism and tolerance. In offering general freedom of conscience to individuals, the edict offered many specific concessions to the Protestants, such as amnesty and the reinstatement of their civil rights, including the right to work in any field or for the State and to bringces directly to the king. It marks the end of the religious wars that tore apart the population of France during the second half of the 16th century.

The Edict aimed primarily to end the long-running, disruptive French Wars of Religion. Henry IV also had personal reasons for supporting the Edict. Prior to assuming the throne in 1589 he had espoused Protestantism, and he remained sympathetic to the Protestant cause: he had converted to Catholicism only in 1593 in order to secure his position as king, supposedly saying "Paris is well worth a Mass". The Edict succeeded in restoring peace and internal unity to France, though it pleased neither party: Catholics rejected the apparent recognition of Protestantism as a permanent element in French society and still hoped to enforce religious uniformity, while Protestants aspired to parity with Catholics. "Toleration in France was a royal notion, and the religious settlement was dependent upon the continued support of the crown."

Re-establishing royal authority in France required internal peace, based on limited toleration enforced by the crown. Since royal troops could not be everywhere, Huguenots needed to be granted strictly circumscribed possibilities of self-defense.

The Edict of Nantes that Henry IV signed comprised four basic texts, including a principal text made up of 92 articles and largely based on unsuccessful peace treaties signed during the recent wars. The Edict also included 56 "particular" (secret) articles dealing with Protestant rights and obligations. For example, the French state guaranteed protection of French Protestants travelling abroad from the Inquisition. "This crucifies me," protested Pope Clement VIII, upon hearing of the Edict. The final two parts consisted of brevets (letters patent) which contained the military clauses and pastoral clauses. These two brevets were withdrawn in 1629 by Louis XIII, following a final religious civil war.

The two letters patent supplementing the Edict granted the Protestants places of safety (places de sûreté), which were military strongholds such as La Rochelle, in support of which the king paid 180,000 écus a year, along with a further 150 emergency forts (places de refuge), to be maintained at the Huguenots' own expense. Such an act of toleration was unusual in Western Europe, where standard practice forced subjects to follow the religion of their ruler — the application of the principle of cuius regio, eius religio.

While it granted certain privileges to Protestants, the edict reaffirmed Catholicism as the established religion of France. Protestants gained no exemption from paying the tithe and had to respect Catholic holidays and restrictions regarding marriage. The authorities limited Protestant freedom of worship to specified geographic areas. The Edict dealt only with Protestant and Catholic coexistence; it made no mention of Jews, or of Muslims, who were offered temporary asylum in France when the Moriscos were being expelled from Spain.

The original Act which promulgated the Edict, has disappeared. The Archives Nationales in Paris preserves only the text of a shorter document modified by concessions extracted from the King by the clergy and the Parlement of Paris, which delayed ten months, before finally signing and setting seals to the document in 1599. A copy of the first edict, sent for safekeeping to Protestant Geneva, survives. The provincial parlements resisted in their turn; the most recalcitrant, the parlement of Rouen, did not unreservedly register the Edict until 1609.

Revocation
The Edict remained in unaltered effect, registered by the parliaments as "fundamental and irrevocable law", with the exception of the brevets, which had been granted for a period of eight years, and were renewed by Henry in 1606 and in 1611 by Marie de Médecis, who confirmed the Edict within a week of the assassination of Henry, stilling Protestant fears of another St. Bartholomew's Day massacre. The subsidies had been reduced by degrees, as Henry gained more secure control of the nation.[9] By the peace of Montpellier in 1622, concluding a Huguenot revolt in Languedoc, the fortified Protestant towns were reduced to two, La Rochelle and Montauban. The brevets were entirely withdrawn in 1629, by Louis XIII, following the Siege of La Rochelle, in which Cardinal Richelieu blockaded the city for fourteen months.

During the remainder of Louis XIII's reign, and especially during the minority of Louis XIV, the implementation of the Edict varied year by year, voiced in declarations and orders, and in case decisions in the Council, fluctuating according to the tides of domestic politics and the relations of France with powers abroad.

In October 1685, Louis XIV, the grandson of Henry IV, renounced the Edict and declared Protestantism illegal with the Edict of Fontainebleau. This act, commonly called the revocation of the Edict of Nantes, had very damaging results for France. While the wars of religion did not re-ignite, many Protestants chose to leave France, most moving to Great Britain, Prussia, the Dutch Republic, Switzerland and the new French colonies in North America. Huguenots also settled in South Africa. This exodus deprived France of many of its most skilled and industrious individuals, who would from now on aid France's rivals in Holland and England. The revocation of the Edict of Nantes also further damaged the perception of Louis XIV abroad, making the Protestant nations bordering France even more hostile to his regime. Upon the revocation of the edict, Frederick Wilhelm issued the Edict of Potsdam, which encouraged Protestants to come to Brandenburg.

Virginia's Welcome for the Huguenots
This is part of a chapter of Colonial Men and Times, an out-of-print book which was written by Lillie DuPuy VanCullen Harper in 1915. The text is available at openlibrary.org*

The names of the boats of the French Refugees were: First, sailed from the Thames, England, in 1700, the “Mary Ann;”Second, the “Peter and Anthony.” Third boat, unknown and list lost in the Revolutionary War. Fourth boat, “The Nassau.” With Louis Latane, pastor. Each brought about two hundred. One hundred and thirty-three acres were given to each. The church, the parsonage, and the school house were built first, and a community of five hundred was organized.

By an Act of the Virginia Legislature in the year 1700, all those who had built houses near the town of Mannikin were formed into a district Parish, which received the name of King William’s Parish. Privileges and immunities were bestowed upon them to prevent them from dispersing and to induce them to remain united in the vicinity of Mannikin. They were exempted from all parochial contributions which weighed upon the English parishes. It was also declared they should be exempted from the general taxes of the province and from the private taxes of the county of Henrico. This was for seven years, but at the end of that time the Congress of Virginia renewed it.

Pierre married Judith LeFevre in 1718 in Manakin, Goochland, Virginia, USA. Judith (daughter of Isaac LeFevre and Magdeline Parenteau) was born in 1702 in Manakin, Goochland, Virginia, USA; died on 17 May 1785 in Nottoway, Amelia, Virginia, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

SOURCES

DuPuy Family Papers, Genealogical Guide 1963 Manuscript Collection, Virginia Historical Society, Richmond, VA

The Huguenot Bartholomew Dupuy and His Descendants by Rev. B. H. Dupuy, Page 178 Copyright 1908 by Rev. B. H. Dupuy

Dupuy Family papers which were donated to the Virginia Historical Society include a genealogical guide, compiled in 1963. It states that Bartholomew and his wife, Suzanne, fled from France in 1685 as Huguenot refugees, finally migrating to Virginia in 1700.

Bartholomew Dupuy descended from Alleman, the oldest son of the Crusader, Hugo Dupuy. He was probably born in the Provence of Languedoc. By virtue of his descent, he had an heired title of "Count".

When Bartholomew was eighteen years of age, he enlisted in the French army as a common soldier. He served for fourteen years, during which he fought fourteen pitched battles as well as skirmishes and duels. He also won the admiration and confidence of King Luis XIV; so, he was promoted to Lieutenant, and transferred to the King's household guards. While in the King's service, he was provided with a written pass containing the signature of the King, which prohibited any one from molesting his progress.

He married Susanna Lavillon in 1685, a young Countess of noble standing, and of the Huguenot faith. A detailed account of the experiences which he and his wife endured during the short time they remained in France after the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes, and of their escape in December of 1685 is given in "The Story of the Huguenot's Sword" which was published in "Harper's New Monthly Magazine" of April 1857. The author of this story was John Esten Cooke.

The sword, a possession of Bartholomew since the time of his service, was what was known as a short sword with a triangular blade, not exceeding three feet in length. He wore it at the waist; and was wearing it on the evening upon which Captain Jarnilloc, backed by soldiers, came to his home at his chateau at Velours in Saintogne. But, Dupuy was also armed with a piece of parchment which stated that any annoyance of Dupuy would be at the peril of any officer who commanded it as this was the Royal Will of the King, which would be in effect until the first of December 1685; and, this directive was signed "Louis". The Dragoon had hoped to arrest Dupuy on a charge of heresy for his Huguenot beliefs. Others throughout the country were not only being persecuted, but beaten, robbed, tortured, and killed if they did not profess the Catholic faith on the spot. He now backed down; but not without searching the premises for any other heretics that might be hiding on Dupuy's property. Dupuy's friend, Msr. Fontaine, escaped discovery in the secret room where Bartholomew had hidden him just upon the Dragoon's arrival. Captain Jarnilloc and his company left, defeated for the moment.

Bartholomew had been planning his family's escape during the few short months since the Revocation had taken place. He now sent his friend, Fontaine, ahead with his betrothed, Anne Boursiquot, her sister, Elizabeth Boursiquot, and his little niece, Jeannette Forestier. He gave him instructions where to travel, finally ending up at the brig Portsmouth, which would carry him and his little troupe to England, where he was to await Dupuy and his family's arrival. Not thirty minutes after Fontaine's departure, Captain Jarnilloc returned, determined to smoke out the heretics that he felt sure were there. Dupuy informed him that they had left; and, he was immediately off in pursuit. However, Dupuy followed him, eventually catching up and challenging him with his short sword, soundly wounding him, but not mortally......just enough to interrupt the pursuit of Fontaine and his company.

Fontaine's subsequent adventure was frightful as he and his charges were left an extra day waiting for the boat Captain to leave. It became too dangerous and the Captain told him that he could not help him. Fontaine was forced to leave and travel along the coast, hoping to reconnect with the Portsmouth. However, unremitting patrols looking for escaping Huguenots continued to range about making it impossible to hail the ship from the shore. Another whole day passed in this manner before, only by the Grace of God, they were able to board the ship, whereupon Fontaine fell upon his knees thanking the Lord above.

Meanwhile, Dupuy was to meet with the local Catholic Cure to listen to his appeal for him to abjure and become a Catholic. Their arguments went on for hours with the Cure finally agreeing to withhold informing upon Dupuy until the day after the King's amnesty would expire. The following morning, Dupuy sold his estate to Seigneur Agoust for one third of it's value in gold. He then bought a Page's costume for his wife and returned home whereupon they readied themselves to flee, he clad in his uniform as king's guardsman, with his trusty sword thrust into his belt. Upon their heels came the Dragoons as Agoust had betrayed them to Captain Jarnilloc.

Jarnilloc raced after them and finally intercepted their trail. He then fired his pistol at them. The ball missed Dupuy; but, struck his wife in the chest. At this, Dupuy shot Jarnilloc straight through the heart. He grabbed his wife's horse's bridle and galloped away. He was shocked to see Susanna all of a sudden sit up erect, finding that she had not been wounded as the ball had been stopped by her book of psalms which she carried in her bosom.

Further adventures were helped along by the letter from the King, as most people met could not read; but could only recognize the Royal Seal. They continued on into Germany and relative safety. Next, they traveled to England, where they stayed until 1700, finally coming to America and settling in Virginia. The sword came to America, too, where it was passed down, and was long treasured as an heirloom by his descendants from his grandson, John Bartholomew. It was worn in the Revolutionary War by Capt. James Dupuy of Nottoway County, Virginia; and, he, in turn left it to his grandson, Dr. John James Dupuy, son of Dr. William Jones Dupuy. It was lost in a raid by Federal troops during the Civil War by this last owner. It had been left at his mother-in-law's house, which was pillaged and burnt to the ground. Whether the sword was burned in the house or carried off by Federal troops is unknown.
