ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on soldier migr Huguenots who did no only resist Louis XIV with the sword: merchants and financiers acted against the interests of the French king too, and they were important actors in the so-called Protestant international. Almost immediately Miremont began representations to the German princes and to the Dutch Republic to ease the suffering of the Huguenot refugees from his homeland in the south of France. The force took Guillestre and Gap and when Embrun fell to them on 15 August it threw Dauphin into panic, due in part to Schomberg turning over the government of the place to Huguenots; hopes were high for the attack to continue into the heart of France. In 1713, as a sign of his still great influence, Queen Anne appointed Miremont Commissioner at the Congress of Utrecht to act in concert with all the plenipotentiaries of the Protestant princes with the aim of aiding the Huguenots in France.
