Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the harrowing experiences of French Protestants during the 17th-century persecution that culminated in the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes. The author delves into the brutal reality of the dragoonnades, where soldiers were used to force conversions, and the systematic dismantling of Huguenot freedoms. Through meticulously researched historical accounts, the book paints a vivid picture of the cruelty and desperation experienced by Protestants, many of whom sought refuge in England, Holland, and other nations. The author also examines the correspondence between French Protestants and their English counterparts, revealing the hopes and anxieties of a community seeking support during a time of great upheaval.
