The 1 million or so Huguenots were forced to recant their Protestant (specifically Calvinist) faith in favor of Catholicism. Some 200,000 fled the country, illegally, and settled in England, Germany, the Netherlands, Scotland, British America and South Africa - places where the three main Protestant faiths of the time were practiced. Some who refused to recant were killed, some simply had their children taken from them. Anyone who could not, at the very least, act like a Catholic was supposed to act in the early modern era was under suspicion. Basically, this was not a good time to be a Huguenot in France.

What were the terms of the revocation of the edict of nantes?

Its revocation in 1685 by King Louis XIV, through the Edict of Fontainebleau, abolished these rights, mandating the conversion of Huguenots to Catholicism and prohibiting Protestant worship. This led to widespread persecution, the closure of Protestant churches, and the emigration of many Huguenots, significantly impacting France's economy and cultural landscape.
