The Waldenses outside the Piedmont, long persecuted…

November 1541 CE

The Waldenses outside the Piedmont, long persecuted as a heretical Christian sect, had in the 1530s joined the local Protestant churches in Bohemia, France and Germany.

They have regrouped in the Luberon and followed their religions in a carefully concealed manner, but this had become apparent when Lutherans started to penetrate their region.

The Waldensians also have become more militant, fortifying themselves as in Cabrières, or attacking an abbey.
