Ruymbeke (American civilization, U. of Paris VIII-Vencennes-Saint-Denis) describes the gradual marginalization of the Calvinist Huguenots in France from the 1660s to the revocation of the Edict of Nantes in 1685; the transatlantic migration of some 500 of them to South Carolina; and their eventual integration into the religious, political, and socio-economic fabric of the Restoration propriety colony.
