It is amazing to discover that most of the so-called French Hugenots were actually of German descent in an area warred over for hundreds of years. They spoke both languages and were always caught in the thick of those terrible times. Many of these people migrated into England as well, but they were still of germanic estraction and valued by Queen Anne for their reknown craftsmanship which was sorely lacking in England at the tiem.....in particular those that were skilled in metallurgy. For weapons capabilities of course. The records show this.
