Les Huguenots: Cent ans de persécution, 1685-1789 by baron de Janzé
"Les Huguenots: Cent ans de persécution, 1685-1789" by baron de Janzé is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The work delves into the plight of the Huguenots in France during a century marked by severe religious persecution, reflecting on the impact of Louis XIV’s policies and the broader implications of religious intolerance. The author aims to illuminate this dark chapter in history, highlighting the Huguenots as symbols of the
struggle for freedom of conscience. At the start of the text, the author sets a reflective tone, suggesting that history often repeats itself due to mankind's neglect of past lessons. Janzé discusses the disastrous consequences of Louis XIV's religious policies, particularly the Edict of Nantes and its revocation, which essentially stripped Huguenots of their rights and subjected them to harsh persecution. The opening provides historical context, mentioning the cruelty of the period, including forced conversions and exiles, while foreshadowing the continuing struggles for religious freedom and the importance of acknowledging the past to prevent future misdeeds.
