Edykt of Fontainebleau

-

Edykt of Fontainebleau Edited from Fontainebleau (Édit de Fontainebleau) - edict, issued by Louis XIV in October 1685, which annulled the Nantean edict of 1598. The Edict of Fontainebleau ordered the destruction of Protestant churches in France, the closure of Protestant schools and the conversion of Catholicism, while forbidding Protestants to flee the country. This edict was also an official confirmation of the persecution of Protestants, initiated in 1681 by dragonads. The king issued this edict, among others. after the persuasion of his second wife Madame de Maintenon, who was a hot supporter of the persecution of Protestants. Her spiritual adviser and confessor, Father François de la Chaise, had a great influence on the attitude of the queen.

Under the edict of a crime subject to severe penalties, the death penalty has become not only the confession of Protestantism, but also the possession of "heretical" books. Protestant attempts at church services in isolated places (forests and mountains) led to group executions only. The situation for Protestants has become dramatic and as a result of religious persecution the country has left despite hundreds of thousands of Protestants (called Huguenots) who have found refuge in England, the Netherlands, Sweden, Switzerland, Dani, Prussia. On 16 January 1686 Ludwik XIV stated that Protestantism in France was practically liquidated: from about 900 thousand. Protestants in the country left only about 1,500 of them.

These theorems did not correspond to the truth because a large number of Protestant societies were preserved in the south of France in Sewenny, where on July 24, 1702 a fire broke out. Ludwik XIV

The escape of so many citizens from the country, most of whom were skilled craftsmen and merchants, was an early form of brain drain and led to the impoverishment of entire regions of the country. The hugenists have taken with them knowledge of the important technologies of fabric and silk production, clocks, silverware and furniture production and contributed to the development of crafts and merchandising in other countries competing with France.

Following the edict, some rulers sought to encourage the Huguenots to settle in their countries - for example, Frederick William issued a Potsdam Edict at the end of October 1685 to bring the Huguenots to his country. Bibliography
