Pierre Nevejans

Pierre Nevejans is pursuing his Ph.D. in  Early Modern History at the École normale supérieure de Lyon, where he also obtained two Master’s degrees in early modern history and history of political thought. Alongside his research, Pierre teaches in the history department of the University of Lyon 3. His thesis work is placed under the co-direction of Romain Descendre, Professor of Italian Studies at the ENS of Lyon and Nicolas Le Roux, Professor of Early modern History at the University of Paris 13 and within the framework of the Triangle laboratory. His research focuses on the concept of diplomatic agents and the role of ambassadors within a complex network of informants and servants, through the case study of Cosimo I de Medici’s agents in France during the first part of his reign, up to the war of Siena (1537 – 1554). At the Medici Archive Project, he will focus on informants settled by Cosimo in Caterina de’ Medici’s entourage.
