meet my 13th Great-Grandfather-
Francois Hotman
-
Early French Protestant Lawyer & Author
Born Paris 23 August 1524
son of Pierre Hotman, Counsellor Parliament and his noble wife Paulette de Marle
---
He came from a very influential family on both sides,
his mother was a direct descendant of (French) Kings.
---
Francois' parents were zealous Catholics
---
He had other ideas, it was an explosive bloody period of History
---
He became one of the foremost advocates of the Protestant Reformation and was a close friend of John Calvin. He was also an advisor at times to Queen Elizabeth I of England and Catherine de Medici.
------
Alienated by his parents and native country, his life often threatened,
he fled and spent his last days in Basel, Switzerland.
---
The Plague of 1582 took his wife, mother to his 7 children
---
He died at Basel, Switzerland February 12th, 1590
---
He is today one of the most revered and respected Authors of the Reformation, having published numerous works of great fame, notably The Franco Gallia.
