Abstract

The main purpose of this thesis is to study early Huguenot political theory as represented by Francis Hotman's chief work, Franco-Gallia. It was a book written toward a specific and during a crucial time for France; yet its message is hardly limited to its time. Franco-Gallia is not one of the most important books ever written on political theory; it is, however, one of the most important books of the early Huguenot era, if not the most important one. And since this paper is a study of early Huguenot thought, its focus is on Franco-Gallia.
