Content
Disobeying the sovereign (Low Countries, France, England, 16th century)
Monarchical power kept asserting itself, and demanded an unconditional obedience from its subjects as soon as 1530. And yet, the latter hanged on to their values, to their faith, to their privileges. Renaissance, Reform and Modernity provided them with new weapons. Disobedience was a fact: we will try to analyze its various levels and nuances (insubordination / opposition / revolt / rebellion / resistance, and so on), but also to distinguish - in a resolutely comparative way - new claims from traditional recriminations among various social groups: peasants, towns, noblemen, soldiers, and even the "national" community.

Evaluation methods
Due to the COVID-19 crisis, the information in this section is particularly likely to change.
The final written examination will consist in commenting on a historical document, and writing a short composition - both of the exercises requiring knowledge and a critical mind.
