Who are hugonoughs?

Answer 1

Huguenots were French Protestants, primarily of the Calvinist tradition, who faced severe persecution in predominantly Catholic France during the 16th and 17th centuries. The term is often associated with the Wars of Religion in France, particularly the St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre in 1572, when thousands were killed. Many Huguenots fled France to seek religious freedom, settling in various countries, including England, the Netherlands, and America. Their migration led to significant cultural and economic contributions in their new homelands.
