from Huguenot- A Tale of the French Protestants · host George Payne Rainsford James

Step back into the tumultuous era of King Louis XIV of France, a time marked by deep religious strife. While his father, Louis XIII, attempted to stifle Calvinist teachings, his son chose a different path. Although Louis XIV was generally tolerant, the fervor within his court often led to the persecution of Protestant Huguenots. This is the gripping tale of Albert, Count of Morseiul—a Huguenot landowner navigating the delicate balance between his loyalty to the crown and his faith. Join us as we explore the complexities of friendship, faith, and survival in a divided France.
