Persecution of Huguenots under Louis XV
The persecution of Huguenots under Louis XV refers to hostile activities perpetrated against a religious group of French Protestants (known as the Huguenots) between 1715 and 1774, during the reign of Louis XV. == Under previous kings == The members of the Protestant religion in France, the Huguenots, had been granted substantial religious, political and military freedom by Henry IV in his Edict of Nantes. Later, following renewed warfare, they were stripped of their political and military privileges by Louis XIII, but retained their religious freedoms.
