Which french monarchs persecuted the french protestants during the early 15th century?
No-one, because there were no Protestant Huguenots in France before the 16th century. The first persecutions started in 1572, so the late 16th century, but after that Protestants were tolerated and even protected. The first king to overturn that policy, outlaw Protestantism and seriously persecute the Huguenots was King Louis XIV. And that happened in and after 1685 with the Edict of Fontainebleau.
