This article aims to analyze the role of two religious men, the Catholic Juan de Maldonado, and the Protestant Hugues Surau de Rosier, in the context of the Saint Bartholomew?s Day?s Massacre of 1572, which took place in Paris but shortly extended to the whole Kingdom. In the case of Maldonado, it is in his demonological ideas we are mainly interested in, but also the way in which he dealt with Sureau?s vicissitudes after the massacre.
