Synopsis

Survival, faith, and lineage across seven generations of Huguenot refugees Learn how French Protestants fled persecution, built new lives, and shaped families in Britain and Ireland, through vivid histories and genealogical sketches.

This volume surveys the early exiles, tracing how persecution, political changes, and shifting loyalties affected refugees and their descendants. It blends narrative history with biographical notes, showing how communities organized, navigated law and society, and preserved their faith across borders.

- Discover the roots of Huguenot refuge and the acts that sheltered congregations after 1562.
- See how key figures and events—from the St. Bartholomew’s Massacre to the Revocation era—shaped exile and settlement.
- Explore genealogical fragments and stories of families who built new lives in Great Britain and Ireland.
- Follow the evolution of refugee clergy, professionals, and public servants across generations.

Ideal for readers of European religious history, migration stories, and genealogical inquiry seeking context and illustrative portraits of the Huguenot diaspora.
