Original Title:
Από την ανυποταξία στην τυραννοκτονία: η συμβολή των Μαριανών προσφύγων στον προτεσταντικό λόγο περί δικαίου αντιστάσεως τον 16ο αιώνα
Translated title:
From disobedience to tyrannicide: the Marian exiles ' contribution to the Protestant theory of resistance in 16th century
Summary:
This master thesis takes as starting point the theories founded on two treatises of the religious exiles named J. Ponet and Ch. Goodman. The general thematic of tyrannomach theories is viewed as an expression of the politicization of Protestants facing religious persecution in 16th century Europe. It is suggested a continuity link through a comparative study, starting with the Lutheran defense arguments in Holy Roman Empire on 1530’ continuing with their radicalization from Marian exiles asking for tyrannicide on 1550’ and ending up with the conditional use of them from the Huguenots on 1570’. The role the Marian exiles played in developing the natural law is crucial because it serves as a bridge between the authors giving the possibility of covering the religious sentiment when it was needed and driving them in a secularized view of monarchy since its sacred hypostasis was displaced by the laws of commonwealth’s covenant.
