The Huguenots were French Calvinists, active mostly in the sixteenth century. They were persecuted by Catholic France, and about 300,000 Huguenots fled France for England, Holland, Switzerland, Prussia, and the Dutch and English colonies in the Americas.
The battle between Huguenots and Catholics in France also reflected fights between noble houses.
