Abstract

In the second half of the XVI century, Huguenots jurists make an important effort to consolidate the traditional gallican liberties, threatened by the Council of Trent. They incorporate this concept to a wide antipapal strategy in Europe. Although the progressive decline of the French reformed community in the XVII century, Huguenots jurists contributions to gallican ideas, shared and assimilated by the politiques will not be forgotten. On the contrary, they are essential to understand the foreign action of the Crown of France until the Peace of Westphalia.
