The word "libertine" is derived from the Roman mythological figure, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liber Liber] (meaning "free"). Liber represented husbandry and crops and was celebrated by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mystery_religions mystery religions] including the Secret Order of Libertines. The term was also coined by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Calvin John Calvin] to negatively describe opponents of his policies in Geneva, Switzerland. This group, led by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ami_Perrin Ami Perrin], argued against Calvin's "insistence that church discipline should be enforced uniformly against all members of Genevan society".[3] Perrin and his allies were elected to the town council in 1548, and "broadened their support base in Geneva by stirring up resentment among the older inhabitants against the increasing number of religious refugees who were fleeing France in even greater numbers". By 1555, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calvinist Calvinists] were firmly in place on the Genevan town council, so the ''Libertines'', led by Perrin, responded with an "attempted coup against the [[government]] and called for the massacre of the French ... This was the last great political challenge Calvin had to face in Geneva".
