The Huguenots formed a privileged minority within early modern
France. During the second half of the sixteenth century, they
fought for freedom of worship in the French 'wars of religion'
which culminated in the Edict of Nantes in 1598. The community was
protected by the terms of the Edict for eighty-seven years until
Louis XIV revoked it in 1685. The Huguenots therefore constitute a
minority group tolerated by one of the strongest nations in early
modern Europe, a country more often associated with the absolute
power of the crown - in particular that of Louis XIV. This
collection of essays explores the character and identity of the
Huguenot movement by examining their culture and institutions,
their patterns of belief and worship and their interaction with
French state and society. The volume draws upon research by leading
historians and specialists from across Europe and North America.
The Huguenots were a religious minority in France who fought during the second half of the sixteenth century for their Protestant (Calvinist) beliefs, and to whom concessions were granted by the crown with the Edict of Nantes in 1598. The Huguenots continued to enjoy their privileged status until the Edict was revoked in 1685. This collection of essays explores the character and identity of the Huguenot movement by examining their institutions, patterns of belief and worship, and interaction with French state and society.
