Examining Catholic activism in the south-west of France during the middle decades of the sixteenth century, this book argues that the phenomenon was widespread and militant even before the formation of the Catholic League in 1576. It is based on material from the provincial archives at Bordeaux, Toulouse, Agen, and at the Bibliotheque Nationale.
