Between 1680 and 1720 many refugees called Huguenots came to England, which country did they come from?
Correct Answer: France
The Huguenots were French Protestant refugees who came to England between 1680 and 1720.
They fled religious persecution in France after King Louis XIV revoked the Edict of Nantes (1685). They contributed significantly to British industries including silk weaving, watchmaking, and banking.
