JOHN B. RONEY is a scholar of European history and teaches in the Department of History at Sacred Heart University. His areas of research focus on the smallest states in Europe that have managed to remain independent, including the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, and Switzerland, since the Renaissance. The place of religion in society has been of particular interest, as well as the study of how historians have written about history. He regularly teaches these areas together with the wider fields of Medieval to Modern France.
