The Definition and the Development of the Religious Protectorate of France in the Ottoman Lands
Eskişehir Osmangazi Üniversitesi İlahiyat Fakültesi Dergisi, 2021
The aim of this study is to emphasize the position of France as the Protector of Catholics living on the lands of the Ottoman Empire, starting with Latin Catholics, and the development of this position, in accordance with the articles of capitulations given to this country. France was able to maintain its influence in the region by acting as the Protector of the Eastern Catholics, holding this prestigious and priority title among other European powers, giving the impression of establishing a visible alliance with the Papacy; and through this, the ambassadors of France had ceremonial and honorary privileges in the capital of the Ottoman Empire. With the religious Protectorate of France in the East, the issue of Eastern Christians emerged for the first time, and these communities became a tool to increase France's influence in the East. France represented not only Catholic clergy, but also the Catholic institutions such as schools, hospitals, orphanages and lay people before the O...
Franco-Ottoman Diplomacy during the French Wars of Religion, 1559-1610
Ph.D. Dissertation, George Mason University, 2020
This dissertation investigates the French military alliance with the Ottoman Empire during a series of religious civil wars between Catholics and Protestants in France. It asks why the French court and its diplomats continued to pursue France’s Ottoman alliance during a period of such intense internecine conflict, and how those diplomatic endeavors were achieved. Based on extensive manuscripts research, this dissertation argues that the French court pursued an alliance with an Islamic Empire while the country was in the throes of Catholic-Protestant warfare because the Ottoman Empire was a central part of how the French conceived of their foreign policy. To prevent Spanish intervention into their domestic turmoil, the French court and its diplomats turned to their Ottoman ally to counter Spain in the Mediterranean. Historians have long known about the alliance between King Françios Ier (r. 1515-1547) and Sultan Suleiman I (r. 1520-1566), but the historiography has believed there were no further political ties until the reign of Louis XIV. This dissertation shows that the Franco-Ottoman alliance continued unabated throughout the sixteenth century despite the outbreak of religious civil war. France’s cross-confessional foreign policy was institutionalized long before the 1630s. This dissertation is divided into two parts. Part one provides an in-depth analysis of the characteristics of early modern and specifically Franco-Ottoman diplomacy. It demonstrates how the French court and its diplomats in the Ottoman Empire established a structure of communication and interaction with their Muslim allies to facilitate Franco-Ottoman diplomatic and military cooperation. Part two provides a narrative of the waxing and waning of the Franco-Ottoman diplomacy. It shows that the French crown included the Ottomans in all its foreign policy endeavors during the second half of the sixteenth century until the end of Henri IV’s reign (r. 1589-1610). Frustration with the Ottoman Empire’s inability to provide substantive military support to France caused Henri IV and his court to abandon the military aspects of the alliance, leaving only an economic agreement. Historians have traditionally defined the European geopolitical community within the restrictive parameters of western Christian Europe, treating the Ottoman Empire as a peripheral actor on the margins of Europe at best and as a foil against which the European community defined itself at worst. This dissertation demonstrates that the French court and its diplomats treated their geopolitical community as a much broader region that included the Ottoman Empire.
