Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Life and Labours
After the revocation of the Edict of Nantes in 1685, the Greniers suffered much persecution, and one of them was tried and executed for having harboured a proscribed Huguenot priest. In 1740 the then head of the family, Abel de Grenier, Comte de Fonblanque, sent his two only sons, Antoine and Jean, to England, there to be educated in the Protestant faith, which had become difficult in France.
