The Edict of Nantes was revoked by Louis XIV in 1685 ending the religious toleration of the Huguenots. This revocation caused a wave of religious persecution as the Huguenots were no longer allowed to practice their religion. Many Huguenots chose to leave France migrating to other countries in Europe North America and even South Africa.The revocation of the Edict of Nantes was officially declared on October 22nd 1685 by Louis XIV. The document was titled a "Declaration of the King concerning the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes". It declared that all Huguenots must convert to Catholicism or leave France. It also stated that all Protestant churches were to be closed and that Huguenots were no longer allowed to practice their religion in public or in private.The consequences of the revocation of the Edict of Nantes were severe.
