 , a series of interlocking treaties and truces brought peace to Europe. Th
 e Civil Wars in France\, the Anglo-Spanish war\, the Dutch rebellion\, eve
 n the so-called “Long War” between the Habsburgs and the Ottomans\, we
 re temporarily\, if not definitively settled. In the absence of open confe
 ssional warfare\, many countries found themselves obliged to re-think the 
 relationship between church\, confession\, and political authority\, and t
 he privileges afforded to religious minorities. Confessional conflict turn
 ed inward\, leading both Roman Catholicism and Reformed Protestantism into
  increasingly bitter and violent internal confrontations.\n\nIn a world of
  confessional uncertainty\, true loyalties were more important than ever. 
 The Europeans of the Short Peace accordingly became preoccupied with hones
 ty and sincerity\, and conversely with the problem of deception and dissim
 ulation. Conversion was the problem that united these concerns. After all\
 , the European order itself had been shaped by King Henri IV of France’s
  1594 reconciliation with Rome. During the Short Peace\, Protestant and Ca
 tholic figures with public profiles were rumored to be ‘secret converts\
 ,’ part of a hidden force of unbelievers working from the inside to holl
 ow out their ostensible religions. Apparently genuine converts were heavil
 y scrutinized\; other figures only retained their importance by insisting 
 that they had not converted. This conference explores how individuals navi
 gated the era’s increasingly labyrinthine confessional landscape.\n\nOnc
 e available\, papers will be pre-distributed to registrants.\n\n\n\nProgra
