English to afrikaans meaning of

huguenot

Die term "Hugenote" verwys na 'n lid van die Protestantse Gereformeerde Kerk van Frankryk, veral gedurende die 16de en 17de eeue. Die woord het ontstaan as 'n neerhalende term wat deur hul opponente gebruik is, maar het later 'n aanvaarde etiket vir die Franse Protestantse gemeenskap geword. Hugenote het 'n beduidende rol gespeel in die godsdienstige en politieke konflikte van daardie tyd. Die woordeboekbetekenis van "Hugenoot" word oor die algemeen gedefinieer as 'n Franse Protestant van die tydperk, wat dikwels met Calvinistiese oortuigings geassosieer word.

  2. The Percerin of that period was a Huguenot, like Ambrose Pare, and had been spared by the Queen of Navarre, the beautiful Margot, as they used to write and say, too, in those days because, in sooth, he was the only one who could make for her those wonderful riding-habits which she so loved to wear, seeing that they were marvelously well suited to hide certain anatomical defects, which the Queen of Navarre used very studiously to conceal.
  3. He was of an ancient Huguenot family, and had once been wealthy but a series of misfortunes had reduced him to want.
