9781648250767: Dutch Reformed Protestants in the Holy Roman Empire, c.1550–1620

Synopsis

Starting in the mid-sixteenth century, widespread persecution and war forced tens of thousands of Reformed Protestants in the Netherlands to flee their homes for new communities in England and the Holy Roman Empire. This book follows those refugees who escaped to the east and southeast, up the Rhine River watershed and challenges conventional wisdom about refugees and forced migrations in early modern Europe.
