It was an attempt by the Huguenots to create an independent republic the same way as the Dutch in the Spanish Netherlands. It was created in 1573 after the St-Barthélémy Massacre (1572) , after which the French protestants never trusted again the Valois. My question is could this state survive and make alliances with fellow Protestant nations?What will be the different challenges faced by it and potential leaders (maybe Condé or Henry of Navarra, but he is the line of succession of France). Thanks for replies and answers!!
