Question

Which of the following best describes the Huguenots?

A.Acadian
B.French Protestant
C.English Anglican
D. German Catholic

Answer 1

The Hugenots were French Protestants: the correct answer is B. They were inspired by the writings of Calvin and they first gained importance in 16th century.

Answer 2

The correct option is B

The term Huguenots (Huguenot, in French) is the old name given to French Protestants of Calvinist doctrine during the wars of religion. From the seventeenth century, the Huguenots would often be called Religionnaires, since royal decrees (and other official documents) called Protestantism contemptuously "purportedly reformed religion."
