Facing the Revocation

Huguenot Families, Faith, and the King's Will

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Facing the Revocation tells the story of one French Protestant (Huguenot) family, the Champagnés, as they faced the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes, which criminalized their religion in 1685. It challenges the way Huguenot history has been told for 300 years and thereby offers new insights into the reign of Louis XIV.
