Migration 14: Why did so many Huguenots migrate to England during the early modern period?

This enquiry focuses on the second case study outlined in the specification for the early modern period: the experiences of Huguenots in seventeenth-century England.

It gets students thinking carefully about the causes of Huguenot migration to England in the period.

Firstly they analyse a painting by French artist Francois Dubois (which depicts the brutal events of 1572, when a massacre drove many Huguenots out of France), then by categorising information in a number of different ways.

Finally, students are guided through an activity in which they respond to a 12-mark exam question.
