1723 Podcast | Episode 2: The Huguenot Influence

In this episode of our limited series of the 1723 podcast, Shaun and Dr. Ric Berman discuss the effects that 200 years of state-sanctioned religious intolerance in France had on British Society in the 18th Century.
After the small French Protestant population - known as the Huguenots - left France en masse, many settled in the UK, where the Protestant Monarch King George I led a religiously tolerant society that embraced the Huguenot Diaspora with open arms. As a result, the Huguenots became ardent supporters of the Hanoverian Monarch.
A circle of senior Freemasons, Jean Theophilus Desaguliers and Charles Delafaye among them, ensured that Freemasonry’s Ritual endorsed Enlightenment philosophical and political principles.
