Abstract

[fre] Résumé Au cœur de la France et de la «France des seigneurs», Limoges, agglomération double avec le Château - ville bourgeoise - et la Cité - ville épiscopale -, abrite environ 12 000 habitants à la veille des guerres de religion. Comme dans plusieurs villes du Massif Central, telles Rodez, Le Puy, les «troubles de religion» culminent au moment de la Ligue. A trois reprises, les ligueurs essaient de s'emparer de Limoges. Ds échouent et subissent en octobre 1589 une sévère répression qui les condamne à mort ou à l'exil. Leur retour, imposé par Henri IV en 1596 ne suscite qu'une réunification de façade. L'élite catholique ne peut se ressouder en totalité. Les choix, les engagements, perceptibles tant dans la vie publique que la sphère privée démontrent la permanence, l'intensité et l'enracinement des clivages qui la traversent et la structurent. Ainsi, durant la première moitié du XVIIe siècle, les laïcs poursuivent leur combat du siècle précédent, mais ils ne s'intéressent qu'au domaine religieux et empruntent des voies moins violentes pour assurer le triomphe de leur cause. [eng] Abstract City of between 10 000 and 12 000 inhabitants, Limoges is agitated bu sporadic and religious disorders from 1569 to 1589. At spring 1588 and autumn 1589, the Holy League attempted to take possession of the city. But she failed and their membres are condamned and banished until 1596. The paper analyses the social recombining realized by the actors and their lineages during the XVII century. All the indications-marriages, firsts names, willsn religious preferences - suggest the perpetuity of ancients options, the incomplete reconciliation and the memory's vigour.
