What was La Fronde in France between 1648 and 1653?

Question

What name was given to members of the Protestant Reformed Church of France from the 16th to the 18th centuries, many of whom emigrated in the late 17th century, who were inspired by the writings of John Calvin in the 1530s?

Answer 1

A series of civil wars
The wars flared in France during the minority of Louis XIV. La fronde was the name of the “sling” in a children’s game played in the streets of Paris in defiance of civil authorities. The failure of the Fronde is seen as facilitating the emergence of Louis XIV's absolute monarchy. The Thirty Years War was concluded with the Peace of Westphalia in 1648, before the struggles of La Fronde broke out.
