Huegenots were a small, ethnically similiar, religously aligned group of elites whom were loyal to King and didn't have local interests :P.
@cremieuxrecueil Fellow Western European, religously aligned, persecuted elites. Yes.
Specifically in order to create a more efficient state that was directly loyal to the king and not local interests. Absolutism.
