Introduction to the Huguenots

The Huguenots were French Protestants influenced by the ideas of the Reformation. During the 16th and 17th centuries, they faced severe persecution from the Catholic majority and the French monarchy. Their beliefs centered around the teachings of John Calvin, emphasizing predestination and the authority of the Bible.
