1558 CE

Doctrinal disputes had arisen between Villegagnon and the Calvinists, especially in relation to the Eucharist, and as a result the Calvinists had been banished from the island in October 155.

They settle among the Tupinamba until January 1558, when some of them manage to return to France by ship together with Jean de Léry; five others choose to return to the island, where three of them are drowned by Villegagnon for refusing to recant.

Villegaignon returns to France in 1558, disgusted with the religious tension that exists between French Protestants and Catholics, who have come also with the second group.
