The Huguenot: A Tale of the French Protestants


Lu par Lynne T

(4.2 stars; 2 reviews)

The time of French king Louis XIV was a time of religious conflict. His father, Louis XIII had tried to suppress the teachings and followers of Calvin but was thwarted by his ministers. The son took a different path. The king was Catholic, and although he was tolerant of others, some in his government were less so, and persecuted the Protestant Huguenots. This is the story of Albert, Count of Morseiul as he treads the tightrope of being a Huguenot landowner and loyal subject and friend of the king. (20 hr 47 min)

A good story. A bit long-winded at times but it's worth finishing. Thanks Lynn for the good reading.
