Fontainebleau Order

When Louis XIV rose to the throne in the year 1643, he ended up being progressively strong in his exertions to transform the Huguenots. At first, he dispatched missionaries sponsored by a fund to economically reward Roman Catholic converts. He then imposed penalties, shuttered Huguenot schools, and disallowed Huguenots from certain occupations. As the circumstance intensified, Napoleon launched dragoing todes, which included army forces inhabiting and robbing Huguenot houses in an effort to transform them by force. He provided the Order of Fontainebleau in the year 1685, which withdrew the Order of Nantes and announced Protestantism prohibited.

The cancellation forbade Protestant services, mandated Catholic education for kids, and stopped emigration. It was a catastrophe for the Huguenots and an expensive undertaking for France. It stimulated civil war, stopped trade, and led to the prohibited exodus of numerous countless Protestants, lots of them were scientists, physicians, and company managers whose abilities were transferred to Britain, Holland, Prussia, South Africa, and other locations. 4,000 people came to the Thirteen People, settling mostly in New York City, the Delaware River Valley in Eastern Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Virginia. The English authorities welcomed the French refugees with open arms, supplying funds from both public and personal sources to help with their move. Those Huguenots who stayed in France were pushed to convert to Roman Catholicism and were described as "new converts."

Following this, the Huguenots left to Protestant nations like as England, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Norway, Denmark, and Prussia, where Calvinist Great Elector Frederick William invited them to help restore his war-ravaged and underpopulated nation. Huguenots stayed in significant numbers in only one area of France after the exodus: the rocky Cévennes area in the south. There were also some Calvinists in Alsace, which belonged to the Holy Roman Empire of the German Country at the time. A local group called the Camisards (Huguenots from the sloping Massif Central area) rioted against the Catholic Church in the early 18th century, burning churches and killing clergy. Between 1702 and 1709, French armies spent years finding and ruining all of the Camisard bands.
