I recently got, from Amazon, the only comprehensive English language history of the Huguenots, written in 1879:
History of the Rise of the Huguenots, Volumes I and II by Henry M Baird

Will read it after I'm done with my current book.

I started reading this last night. Will take me a while to get through it - that 19th century writing is very dense. Let's see how long it takes me, I'm predicting 6 months.

I finished reading this last night. So it took me 4 months to get through it.

Interesting stuff.

I was in a Half Price books this weekend and saw another (English language) book about the history of the Huguenots. Didn't catch the name of it. I don't think I saw it on Amazon because if I had, I probably would have gotten it rather than the one by Baird, because it was quite a bit shorter. I presume it's now out of print, or something. Either that or it's one of the rare books Amazon doesn't have.

Though I suppose the Baird book probably had a lot of color the other one doesn't, such as the details of all those execution methods.

A lot of the Protestants....they buried them up to there necks and left them to die..the women were raped and the children and the women then were thrown in jails many died of course as the conditions were disgusting....Religion stinks

Read that book and quite heavy of course and it is available free online which is useful for anybody that like's History. The Huguenots left there marK. One side of the Family name is Aumonier and it means Chaplain/Bishop so some searching it just says that,Chaplain, make's ancestry just a tad more difficult. Some where Famous Sculptures so left their mark, one being outside East Finchley Station of the Archer..Eric Aumonier. Surprising as the Huguenots where strict Protestants he became of a Catholic Bishop from 2001-2020 when he resigned. He was the Bishop of Versaille.His grandfather William Senior done a lot of restoration on St. Paul's Cathedral....

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protestantism

The French Huguenots were terrorised purely for following their Religion which is strict Protestantism.
King's normally were in the power seat and always Catholics,they varied in their hatred of the Protestants, but really looking at the bigger picture it was Power that they wanted.
Step in Comte Schomberg, a Protestant who refused to become a Catholic and yet he became A Marshall in France in 1676. His Religion was suddenly not important to the King as his worth was obvious by his titles, Religion is used as a weapon more so than a faith in my view..so he got the top dog's job a Marshall amongst many other titles he gained before that and along the way. The family had already had a long History in France.

This 2nd link below explains more of the History and Religion of Schomberg whose name was really Friedrich Hermann von Schönberg but changed when he landed in France.
