Abstract

In the aftermath of the Saint Bartholomew’s Day massacres, Catholics and Protestants often had to explain or justify the extreme violence that marked this bloody episode. A process of memory construction therefore took place in the days and weeks immediately following the killings. Taking the city of Lyon as a case study, this article analyses how Catholics and Protestants constructed a partisan memory of the massacres and studies the role of these memories in subsequent conflicts and in the interpretation of the massacres, both during and after the Wars of Religion. The article shows that whereas Protestants relied on the model of the martyrology to formulate a theological response to the violence, Lyon’s Catholic elites preferred to insist on the legality of their actions and their respect of the royal will. This dual memory was not only built up gradually, it was also rewritten and reconstructed over the years and in different contexts.

锻造记忆：里昂圣巴塞洛缪日大屠杀的余波

摘要

在圣巴塞洛缪节大屠杀之后，天主教徒和新教徒常常不得不解释或证明标志着这一流血事件的极端暴力。因此，在杀害发生后的几天和几周内，便进行了一次记忆的建立过程。本文以里昂市为例，分析了天主教徒和新教徒如何建立大屠杀的党派记忆，并研究了这些记忆在随后的冲突和宗教战争期间及之后对大屠杀的解释中的作用。 。该文章表明，尽管新教徒依靠the教学的模型来制定对暴力行为的神学反应，但里昂的天主教精英更愿意坚持其行为的合法性和对王室意志的尊重。
