“그녀의 아이들은 국왕의 신민들이다” -위그노 난민 가족의 국적과 결혼 그리고 법적 신분, 1685-1713-

This article examines the experiences of Huguenot refugee families, particularly those of merchants, who intermarried with foreign Protestants. From the sixteenth to the seventeenth centuries, Huguenot merchants and ministers formed “Protestant International” families by marrying their foreign co-religionists in the Dutch Republic, the British Isles, and the North American colonies. However, following the Revocation and during France’s conflict with the Netherlands and England from 1688, these transnational Huguenot families faced unprecedented challenges. The subjecthood and allegiance of these families and their children became a main target of surveillance by French officials. The French government confiscated the property of Huguenot refugees, redistributing it to relatives who had remained in France and converted to Catholicism. This led to intense legal disputes within families, further fracturing ties that were already weakened by religious conversions. This article also examines how these legal disputes over Huguenot property increasingly solidified a new boundary between “French” and “aliens,” as the French government declared Huguenot refugees to be “aliens who fled the kingdom illegally,” justifying the confiscation of their goods left in France. This study aims to illuminate how the experiences of individual Huguenot refugee families, with a particular emphasis on women and children, were connected to the evolving conceptions of nationality and citizenship in the French Atlantic up to the early eighteenth century.
