Her Father Drowned near Quebec City
Sieges of La Rochelle
(Ending just months before Jeanne was born.)
During
the
Renaissance, La Rochelle adopted Protestant
ideas, and from 1568 became a centre for the Huguenots.
The city was besieged during the French Wars of Religion: Siege of La Rochelle (1572-1573).
Under Henry IV the city enjoyed a certain freedom and prosperity until
the 1620s, but the city entered in conflict with the central authority
of the King Louis XIII, when cannon shots were exchanged on September
10,
1627 with Royal troops. This resulted in the Siege of La Rochelle in
which Cardinal Richelieu
blockaded the city for 14 months, until the city surrendered and lost
its mayor and its privileges. The growing persecution of the Huguenots
culminated with the revocation of the Edict of Nantes by Louis XIV.
Many Huguenots emigrated, founding such cities as New Rochelle in the vicinity of today's New
York in 1689. La Rochelle, and the siege of 1627 form much of the
backdrop of the later chapters of Alexandre Dumas, père's
classic novel, The Three
Musketeers.
