Note 802 — Chapter IX
Reading edition
The coast trade with England and Holland probably explains the prevalence of Protestantism in Lower Normandy, at least in part. But the reasons of the prevalence of rural Huguenotism on an extensive scale in Normandy are quite obscure. On this subject see La Ferrière, Normandie à l’étranger, 2-5, 82; Hauser, “The French Reformation and the French People in the Sixteenth Century,” American Historical Review, January 1899, 225, 226.
