Historians have long treated peace-making by agreement as a residue of weak states, destined to give way to public criminal justice. This lecture proposes a different reading. Drawing on research on the Papal States, it argues that peace was not the opposite of violence but one of the ways violence was governed. Instruments borrowed from civil law, such as sureties and penalty clauses, joined judicial coercion to negotiated settlement.
Religion was part of this machinery: it supplied guarantors, sanctions, rituals and a vocabulary of forgiveness. The lecture then asks what happens when the religious guarantee cannot be shared. It compares secularised oaths in post-Reformation France with the segregation and delegated arbitration of Venice and the Mediterranean monotheisms. It then turns, as a visitor’s report, to the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. The Warsaw Confederation of 1573 is read as a collective peace among noble peers. Tumults, trials and pacifications in Vilnius, Vitebsk and Toruń are examined as ways of governing religious enmity through judicial means. The lecture closes with a comparative agenda built on three questions to ask of any peace: who guarantees it, what happens if it is broken, and how is it made visible.
