This book grew out of a chance encounter with a taxation register in the Archives Municipales of Nantes during the early weeks of 1997. The city had a lasting impression on me. Unusually for the west of France, the snow lay thick on the ground, the Loire had half-frozen over and ice floes were making their way downstream, to the Bay of Biscay. It was more like the St Lawrence at Quebec than temperate Brittany. The cold weather did not last, but the question remained of why the taxation register had been drawn up, by whom and for what purpose. This enquiry led me into the wars of religion.

Research for the book would not have been possible without the kind and professional help of the archivists and librarians of Nantes. I owe a special debt of gratitude to the staff of the Archives Municipales of Nantes and of the Archives Dpartementales of Loire-Atlantique, where the majority of research for the book took place. Thanks must also be given to the librarians of the Mdiathque of Nantes and to the curators of the Muse Dobre for allowing access to the museums rare books collection.

Colleagues in the History Division of University College, Northampton, deserve many thanks. The division supported several periods of sabbatical leave, and the School of Social Sciences generously provided research expenses for travel to France. The librarians of University College, Northampton, have provided much support in finding British-based sources. Away from Northampton, the colloquies of the European Reformation Research Group have been invaluable as a source of inspiration and advice. Thanks are also due to the readers and editors of Manchester University Press for their help with this work.

Special thanks must be given to two groups of people, with whom Brittany will always be associated in my mind. Wendy Davies and Grenville Astill first introduced me to Brittany when I was an undergraduate, during fieldwork on the East Brittany Survey. It was during one of the many associated field trips to the Redon region that I met my husband, Mog. He has patiently supported my work and travelled often to southern Brittany, in latter years along with our children Katie and William. Their support has been vital to the completion of this book.
