Historical background
PROTESTANTISM
(05/14/1610-05/14/1643)
From the assembly of La Rochelle on December 24, 1620, the Huguenots protested against the restoration of Catholic worship in Béarn. The Protestants of the South rise up and ask for help from England. The Protestant initiative is supported by nobles like the Duke of Rohan, the Duke of Soubise or the Duke of La Force. The Duke of Mayenne was killed on September 22, 1621 while trying to seize Montauban defended by the Duke of Rohan. The peace of Montpellier of October 18, 1622 confirms the Edict of Nantes, La Rochelle and Montauban remain Huguenot strongholds. However, the war resumed in 1625 with the capture of the island of Oléron by the Duke of Soubise. The Rochelais rise up. A provisional peace in 1626 did not prevent Richelieu from coming to besiege La Rochelle in October 1627 while the city was being supplied by the English. La Rochelle finally capitulated on October 28, 1628 after its abandonment by the English fleet. The Protestants of the South resume the struggle with the siege of Privas and the capitulation of Alès. The Edict of Alès of June 28, 1629 confirms religious freedom, but deprives Protestants of places of safety.
