Followers of a French Protestant of 16th-17th century. They suffered great persecution most notably the Massacre of St Bartholomew in 1572. They were involved in the French wars of Religion against the catholic majority. They were guaranteed freedom of worship by the Edict of Nantes (1598). Civil wars occurred again in the 1620s and the power of the Huguenots was destroyed by the government. Edict of Nantes was revoked in 1685 by Louis XIV and protestantism was not legalised again in France until after the revolution. Many thousands of Huguenots emigrated from France.
