View through CrossRef
Paul Rapin-Thoyras (1661-1725), a Huguenot, is well-known for his book Histoire d’Angleterre. In this article, we focus on his early days, from his youth to his appointment as the head-tutor to Henry Bentinck, Viscount Woodstock, son of the powerful associate of King William III, Hans William Bentinck, the Earl of Portland. By following education, the choices he made in life and career, by reconstructing his rather elaborate networks, we trace how the young Huguenot refugee manages to move beyond military service and achieve this high nomination. Finally, Rapin’s path is compared to other refugees who found themselves in a similar situation.Paul Rapin-Thoyras (1661-1725) est un Huguenot bien connu pour son livre Histoire d’Angleterre.
