Of the approximately 200,000 Huguenots whose consciences compelled
them to leave France during the 17th and 18th centuries, some
10,000 chose to settle in the most unlikely refuge of Ireland. The
story of why and how these most ardent of Protestant believers
found themselves in this most fervently Catholic of islands is
explored in this book. It also attempts to reveal precisely who
these Huguenots were, what they contributed to and received from
their adopted land, and why Huguenot ancestry is so respected and
prized even among devout Irish Catholics. The true chronicle of
Ireland's Huguenots is, in opposition to the narrow
misrepresentations of the past, one of extraordinary richness and
variety, as befits an ethnic group whose influence permeated into
every nook of Irish life and society.
