Image Title: Persecution of Huguenots in Marmande

Description: By the Edict of Fontainbleau (otherwise known as the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes), Louis XIV, King of France, initiates widespread systemic persecution of the Huguenots in 1684 C.E., which includes the destruction of their churches, the confiscation of their property, and the denial of the liberty to practice their faith without fear of threat. In the foreground and background, Louis XIV’s troops dispossess the Huguenots in Marmande of their property and destroy their churches, the ruins of which loom in the background.
