The Huguenots in France: What Came Before They Converted or Fled

Historian Dr. Barbara D. Diefendorf will be speaking at Historic Huguenot Street on the DuBois Fort lawn about the French Wars of Religion and the experience of the Huguenots in France. Rather than a traditional lecture, this event will take an informal approach, inviting guests to engage in discussion with Dr. Diefendorf and each other in an intimate setting as they enjoy hors d'oeuvres and address questions relating to the myth-making power of history, religious violence and persecution, and the Huguenots’ role in the French Wars of Religion.
