We have decided to join Brenda's History Carnival on http://www.thetiethatbindsus.blogspot.com/. This is our very first linky party.
So, in history we are learning about Louis XIV, aka the "Sun King." He was known for his extravagance, his military skill and his oppression and persecution of the Huguenots, the French Protestants.
In 1685 he revoked the Edict of Nantes which gave political and religous protection to the Hugenots. From this point forward they were treated mercilessly:
They were forced to forsake Protestantism and convert to Catholicism:
Some fled their homes and headed to other countries like Sweden, Germany or Norway:
Some lost their lives:
Many Huguenots were experienced shipbuilders and artisans and their exodus had devastating effects on the French economy.
Louis XIV was a very wicked man. But he sure had a nice house:
