Hugenots

Nothing,

But actually Protestant in France were litteral jews back then

>I think at some point they were a BIG minority
Like 10% of the overall population then they all got killed, converted or exiled

they mostly came from from the south of France and their numbers where like 60,000 which was fucking huge as england only had a few million people. They where apparently popular with women because they had dark features and they where absorbed quite quickly. I have a hugenot surname myself.

What do you mean by that?
What if France was Protestant today?

Most of them were rich, like the du Pont family.

Is this a serious reply or just some cuck fantasy

we took on a lot of them and many joined the prussian military and bureaucracy

Do you know any people with Huguenot ancestry?

My family was at some point huguenotte,then they converted back to catholicism. I think it's a good thing they are gone, religious unity is cool.

>What if France was Protestant today?
We'd probably be more like the UK or the US, which isn't really a good thing

not personally but there are many famous ones

>religious unity is cool.
Hmmmm. Don't get why
Why would it be a bad thing

Did they settle in any specific parts?

They stop being Catholic during the French Revolution, they would have stopped being Protestant had they been. The meme that France is Catholic is retarded because even though they historically were, nowadays they are far behind other Latin/Catholic nations like Italy, Spain, Portugal or even their French descendants in Canada.

>France Antarctique was a French colony south of the Equator, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, which existed between 1555 and 1567, and had control over the coast from Rio de Janeiro to Cabo Frio. The colony quickly became a haven for the Huguenots, and was ultimately destroyed by the Portuguese in 1567.

Based Portugal

I've read that Quebec is one of the most secular provinces although it used to be one of the most religious ones but that all changed after the Quiet Revolution

they settled all over but the majority settled in prussia cause the elector invited them over as prussia was very poor and backwards and had few people and the huguenots were very rich and well educated.

Because prots are but mere possesed cum dumpsters

Hypocritical puritanism, individualism, weak anti religious laws would allow muslims to do whatever they want
>They stop being Catholic during the French Revolution
Based retard

Well you are perfectly right. It's most notably why we have unique swear words based on Catholicism.

>In 1627, Richelieu founded the Company of One Hundred Associates to invest in New France, promising land parcels to hundreds of new settlers and to turn Canada into an important mercantile and farming colony.[18] Champlain was named Governor of New France and Richelieu forbade non-Roman Catholics from living there. Protestants were required to renounce their faith prior to settling in New France; many therefore chose instead to move to the English colonies.[18]

New France was almost 100% Catholic. I have never met anyone born before WW2 who wasn't a Catholic. The British used this as leverage to control the population, granting the right to keep the Catholic faith in exchange for the church promoting obedience to the new rule. This strong Catholic faith of course changed through the years with both the Great Darkness and the Quiet Revolution, and nowadays virtually no one is Catholic.

Are Huguenots mention during history class?
Um, but France is still individualist and full of crazy Muzzies who whatever they want

J'ai bien sûr trop simplifié la chose, mais tu vois où je veux en venir. C'était le premier gouvernement d'importance en Europe à devenir laïc.

What is the Great Darkness? Also, if Quebec was so Catholic why did it become so secular so easily?

>France is still individualist
Way less than protestant anglos most of our right wing is commie tier compared to muh freedomz anglo politicians
>full of crazy Muzzies who whatever they want
Our secular legislation allows us to ban nearly everything that pass as "religious freedoms" in these two protestant countries, no childrens wearing islamic veils in school, burqas are illegal, no cops wearing hijab, mosques closed whenever the government feels like it, mosque are fundings often blocked and so on

Bump

they're just french protestants
they're nothing else to say
most came from the southwest

Was the southwest ripe for Protestantism? Why is that?

Yes mainly for the St. Bartholomew's Day massacre

Influential patricians that didn't want to lose their power to the story telling Church and the ever centralizing king.

Well, Anglos aren't the only Protestants in the world. Denmark also banned the burqa and I think the Netherlands and Switzerland, too

Bump

We don't think about them except in the south (where they lived) where people are sometimes like 'nooooo Louis XIV you can't just send dragoons to slaughter protestants and monitor them all the time to see if they really converted'

Séparation de l'eglise et de l'etat c'est en 1905, la putain de feuille.

Gross. canadians deserve to dissapear and become a chinese colony, at least they have morality.

They were prototype Germans that didn't allow fun and only came to work. Their churches look soulless.

Bump

>that didn't allow fun
And that's a good thing

Do you have any Huguenot churches if Germany from the time they came?

Are the few Protestants in France descended from them?

I'm ethnically Huguenot on my dad's side but don't care about them one iota desu. Ironically I have a huge nose and that sounds a bit like Huguenot

How did your dad's family managed to stay pure since then?

France has done more damage to the Catholic Church than Martin Luther.

Ok maybe I'm overstating it, I daresay I've got a load of Angloid blood in me by now (as well as lots of Irish Catholic blood from my mum's side). All I meant was that I've got a Flemish Huguenot surname which is quite rare in the UK, but we've been here for hundreds of years now so no remaining connection to that culture at all
