- The Huguenots soon seized Orléans, then towns along the Rhône and other rivers, and Catherine declared that two religions could not exist in France: "un roi, une loi, une foi" was the contemporary catchphrase. By the summer, events had outpaced the Edict.

sure did. i'm a huguenout, if you go back about 400 years. ancestors fled to newfoundland and trickled south over the centuries. i share my last name with a middling city in france which was pretty damn calvinist in the 16th century. it's extremely uncommon in the states now; don't actually know how rare in burgundy.that ended up everywhere and nowhere
