Print on Demand. This book provides a profound account of the persecution of French Protestants during the reign of Louis XIV, a dark period in French history marked by the relentless suppression of religious freedom. The author meticulously documents the systematic dismantling of the Edict of Nantes, the landmark legislation that had granted Protestants limited rights, and the escalating campaign of terror waged against them. Through a wealth of primary sources, the book vividly depicts the experiences of ordinary Protestants as they faced exile, imprisonment, forced conversions, and the destruction of their churches. The author explores the interplay of religious intolerance, political ambition, and the corrosive effects of fear and prejudice, offering a compelling narrative that resonates with contemporary concerns about religious persecution and the fragility of civil liberties.
