David Nicoll

David Nicoll is a Postdoctoral Researcher working on a Research Ireland Enterprise Partnership Scheme, in partnership with Marsh's Library Dublin. David's project is entitled 'Tracing violence in early modern testimonies: analysis and digitisation of the Poitou (France) depositions of 1681'. This project studies religious violence against the French Protestant minority in the late seventeenth-century. Prior to this postdoctoral fellowship, from 2022-2026, he was employed as Occasional Lecturer / Tutor in UCD and TCD. He completed his PhD at the University of Warwick in 2020, writing his thesis on the figure of Antoine de Crussol, the duc d’Uzès, a Protestant noble during the sixteenth-century French Wars of Religion. Alongside the postdoc, he is putting the final touches to a complete manuscript of his PhD thesis, to complement previously published work on Crussol’s role in the Wars of Religion.
