Abstract

Before, during and after the start of the Dutch Revolt, thousands of people, principally Calvinists, left the Low Countries for England. They established communities in more than twenty towns including the borough of King's Lynn in west Norfolk. Exiles from Flanders and Holland began arriving in Lynn in 1567, and they soon established a Calvinist church community there. A 1571 census indicates that the exile community had more than 200 members, many of whom worked in the textile trade. In 1572, in the early months of the Dutch Revolt, the minister returned to the Low Countries. Thereafter, we have little information on the exile church in Lynn, although exiles did continue to produce textiles, which were sealed in Norwich. This article analyses the history of the exile community and church in Lynn. It addresses questions such as where the exiles came from, why they moved to Lynn and the practices and positions they adopted and networks they created. Furthermore, it explores the relationship between the exile communities in Lynn and Norwich. Several of the church leaders returned to the Low Countries. The article therefore explores their role in building the Reformed Church there. Finally, it challenges previous historiography on Calvinist exiles in Norfolk by suggesting that attention should be paid not only to the exile communities in Norwich but also to those in other Norfolk towns such as Lynn.

国王林恩的荷兰流亡者社区:英荷交往中被遗忘的时刻
在荷兰起义开始之前、期间和之后,成千上万的人,主要是加尔文主义者,离开低地国家前往英格兰。他们在20多个城镇建立了社区,包括西诺福克郡的金林恩区。佛兰德斯和荷兰的流亡者于1567年开始抵达林恩,他们很快在那里建立了一个加尔文主义教会社区。1571年的一次人口普查表明,这个流亡社区有200多名成员,其中许多人从事纺织品贸易。1572年,在荷兰起义的最初几个月,这位部长回到了低地国家。此后,我们对林恩的流亡教会知之甚少,尽管流亡者确实继续生产纺织品,这些纺织品被封存在诺里奇。本文分析了林恩市流亡社区和教会的历史。它解决了诸如流亡者来自哪里,他们为什么搬到林恩,他们采用的做法和立场以及他们创建的网络等问题。此外,它还探讨了林恩和诺里奇流亡社区之间的关系。几位教会领袖回到了低地国家。因此,本文探讨了他们在建立改革宗教会中的作用。最后,它挑战了之前关于诺福克加尔文派流亡者的史学建议不仅要关注诺威奇的流亡者群体也要关注诺福克其他城镇的流亡者,比如林恩。
