Note 17 — THE CATHEDRAL OF ROUEN. THOMAS FROGNALL DIBDIN.
Reading edition
The ravages committed by the Calvinists throughout nearly the whole of the towns of Normandy, and especially in the Cathedrals towards the year 1560, afford a melancholy proof of the effects of religious animosity. But the Calvinists were bitter and ferocious persecutors. Pommeraye in his quarto volume Histoire de l’Église Cathedrale de Rouen (1686) has devoted nearly one hundred pages to an account of Calvinistic depredations.
