list of more well known Huguenots, just so it makes towards some interest, which is not easy with religion.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Huguenots


the first two links have a lot of the same so just saying...so just one would give you the run down...

https://media.nationalarchives.gov.u...enot-ancestors

this link goes on to explain why tracing ancestors is not alway so easy..name changes occurred for different reasons..mainly out of fear.

I recently got, from Amazon, the only comprehensive English language history of the Huguenots, written in 1879:
History of the Rise of the Huguenots, Volumes I and II by Henry M Baird

Will read it after I'm done with my current book.

Read that book and quite heavy of course and it is available free online which is useful for anybody that like's History. The Huguenots left there marK. One side of the Family name is Aumonier and it means Chaplain/Bishop so some searching it just says that,Chaplain, make's ancestry just a tad more difficult. Some where Famous Sculptures so left their mark, one being outside East Finchley Station of the Archer..Eric Aumonier. Surprising as the Huguenots where strict Protestants he became of a Catholic Bishop from 2001-2020 when he resigned. He was the Bishop of Versaille.His grandfather William Senior done a lot of restoration on St. Paul's Cathedral....

links are better for me.....ok not so personnel but if you want a messed up post or understandable ones the choice is simple....

The French Huguenots were terrorised purely for following their Religion which is strict Protestantism.
King's normally were in the power seat and always Catholics,they varied in their hatred of the Protestants, but really looking at the bigger picture it was Power that they wanted.
Step in Comte Schomberg, a Protestant who refused to become a Catholic and yet he became A Marshall in France in 1676. His Religion was suddenly not important to the King as his worth was obvious by his titles, Religion is used as a weapon more so than a faith in my view..so he got the top dog's job a Marshall amongst many other titles he gained before that and along the way. The family had already had a long History in France.

This 2nd link below explains more of the History and Religion of Schomberg whose name was really Friedrich Hermann von Schönberg but changed when he landed in France.

I started reading this last night. Will take me a while to get through it - that 19th century writing is very dense. Let's see how long it takes me, I'm predicting 6 months.

There are two kinds of people in this world: The Hugues and the Huguenots.

Someone had to do it.....

Lol huge nuts

Religion does make people crazy from what I have seen and read. Glad to live a religion free life.

Yeah **** the Heugenots.

40,000 Arrived in the UK and 70.000 to the Netherlands....Do or Die.

Around the year 1700 Amsterdam had a population of nearly 25% of Huguenots , high when you consider, and they intermarried into the Dutch from the offset.
England Patronised and helped protect the Huguenots starting with Queen Elizabeth 1st in 1562. There was a small naval Anglo-French War 1627-1629 in which England supported the French Huguenots against Louis XIII of France. London financed the emigration of many to England and its colonies around 1700

I have all I can do to tie small knots, never mind huge ones.

That reminds me, I need to ask mother to let out my inseam.

I finished reading this last night. So it took me 4 months to get through it.

Interesting stuff.

Not surprised at all.
Many people in the UK slag off the French for whatever reason...but little do they realise that most have some French blood running through their veins..When they landed they breed big time...
One time in the Capital ... London's West End..The population was more of a French population than an English one.
So is simple to see why the French genes are firmly in the English....

Particularly early in the book, one of the things that stuck in my mind were the punishments they handed out to many of the heretics. Those stories you read in history books about burning people alive at the stake were really true ... and that wasn't even the worst of the punishments.

Somewhat fortunately, I suppose, is that some people even back then thought those punishments were rather cruel.

There is always going to be good people amongst any mix.
.. I can remember reading that so many changed their names when making the journey out of France to their chosen Country.
So they used place names for one but can't find the article to quote that find.
So there must be written proof somewhere, that maybe there is people with say Canterbury... London... Dover to name just 3.
So do you have any connections with the Huguenots?

Personally, no I have no connection to the Huguenots. I've just been reading a lot of European history lately, particularly as it related to religion.

No me neither only by marriage...Was surprised though at us choosing this location in France and then finding out his ancestors lived very near....
I joined the french ancestry site
Geneanet
the familysearch.org is a good Ancestry Site and has a lot of information Re.Religion...
free and the owners are Mormons... The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter- day Saints.

I was in a Half Price books this weekend and saw another (English language) book about the history of the Huguenots. Didn't catch the name of it. I don't think I saw it on Amazon because if I had, I probably would have gotten it rather than the one by Baird, because it was quite a bit shorter. I presume it's now out of print, or something. Either that or it's one of the rare books Amazon doesn't have.

Though I suppose the Baird book probably had a lot of color the other one doesn't, such as the details of all those execution methods. :laughing:

A lot of the Protestants....they buried them up to there necks and left them to die..the women were raped and the children and the women then were thrown in jails many died of course as the conditions were disgusting....Religion stinks

Shouldn't have risen up against the Pope.

at least say something that's true for once in your life..
Louis XIV was the main murderer behind the atrocities that took place.. but surely you know that..
Popes mean absolutely mean nothing to me....Just another fairy tale like religion.

Just another rube who doesn't recognize the sovereignty of the Papacy.

your so out of tune with the present way of just about everything...lessons needed here..

Though not currently worn as part of papal regalia, the papal tiara still appears on the coats of arms of the Holy See and the flag of Vatican City. Later in his reign John Paul II approved depictions of his arms without the tiara, as with the mosaic floor piece towards the entrance of St Peter's Basilica, where an ordinary mitre takes the place of the tiara. Otherwise, until the reign of Benedict XVI the tiara was also the ornament surmounting a Pope's personal coat of arms, as a tasseled hat (under which a 1969 Instruction of the Holy See forbade the placing of a mitre, a second hat)[40] surmounted those of other prelates. Pope Benedict XVI's personal coat of arms replaced the tiara with a mitre containing three levels reminiscent of the three tiers on the papal tiara.[41] The mitre was retained on Pope Francis' personal coat of arms.[citation needed]

In 2005, Pope Benedict XVI promulgated the document Ordo Rituum pro Ministerii Petrini initio Romae Episcopi that confirmed the choice of Pope John Paul II to refuse the tiara and the incoronation rite.[42][43]

In May 2011, also Pope Benedict XVI received a special tiara by Dieter Filippi,[44] a German chief executive officer of a telecommunication company who had commissionated the gift to an artisan laboratory located in Sofia.[45]

Each year, a small papal tiara is placed on the head of the famous bronze statue of Saint Peter in St. Peter's Basilica from the vigil of the Feast of the Cathedra of Saint Peter on 22 February until the Feast of Saints Peter and Paul on 29 June.[46] This custom was not observed in 2006, but was reintroduced in 2007.

even when it was in use..it was all about look at me I am rich you are poor..religion was just a joke card...

Why are you going on about tiaras, you weirdo?

This is still easily the best pope story and also metal as ****.
