Medieval History and the American Western

[The Brain]

How long did they last?  I know many confederate officers went on to important politicians.  Hell, one went on to be a general in the Spanish American war.

Until 1953, when all convicted that were still alive were amnistied of these charges.

The huge crowds of celebrating ex-rebs must have been quite a sight.

Like Robert Brasillach, the only (AFAIK) person actually executed for "intellectual crimes," in the atmosphere of 44.  If he'd made it until 45-46, I think he would've ended up like Céline, with a short period of imprisonment and civil death.

There was a handful of others. Some other journalists and writers were also executed, even if Brasillach was the most well-known (Paul Chack, Georges Suares).

What I got from this thread is that Medieval France seems to have hung on a lot longer than I suspected...

The "Ironclad Oath" was passed in 1862, and in 1865 was extended to all attorneys.  In 1866 it was struck down, at least with respect to attorneys (and in 1867 as to priests).

That's not very long at all.

Cornell University recently commissioned a translation of Barthelemy's 1997 book, which includes revisions to the text, new chapters and updated citiations - that is what I am reading now.

Interesting. I imagine there is a preface / presentation, either by Barthélémy or some anglophone scholar?

Barthelemy wrote a short prefatory and a short concluding chapter.  Haven't reached the last yet.
