'''Huguenots''' were mostly [[Calvinist]] [[Protestants]] in [[Old Regime]] France.  They faced persecution, but were later protected somewhat by the Edict of Orléans in 1561.  However, further warfare and persecution soon followed, with the country embroiled in what is known as the French Wars of Religion and a stew stirred as much by the political machinations of the Church in Rome and [[Philip II]] of Spain, the coastal, colonial and maritime incursions of the Protestant English, and the ongoing rebellion against the Catholic Habsburg empire's domination in the Low Countries  by the Protestant Dutch as any local cause.
