Book Overview

Henri De Rohan: Or The Huguenot Refugee is a historical novel written by Francisca Ingram Ouvry and published in 1865. The book is set in the 17th century and follows the story of Henri De Rohan, a French nobleman who is forced to flee his country due to religious persecution against Protestants (Huguenots). The novel begins with Henri's childhood and his introduction to the Huguenot faith, which he embraces wholeheartedly. However, as he grows older, the political climate in France becomes increasingly hostile towards Protestants, and Henri is eventually forced to flee to England with his family. In England, Henri must navigate a new culture and language while also dealing with the loss of his family's wealth and status. He becomes involved in the court of King Charles II and eventually joins the English army, where he distinguishes himself in battle. Throughout the novel, Henri struggles with his faith and his loyalty to his homeland, even as he is forced to confront the harsh realities of religious persecution. The book is a vivid portrayal of the struggles faced by Huguenot refugees during this tumultuous period in European history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
