Foreign Protestant Communities in Sixteenth-Century London
This study examines the impact of the first major influx of foreign refugees into Britain--the Protestant exiles of the Reformation era who came to escape persecution by the Catholic powers in France and the Low Countries. The refugees were generally well received by an English government that was aware of their economic potential. They came to exercise a powerful influence over the Reformation at home and abroad and provided a significant economic structure for a flagging economy.

Praise for this book
"An excellent guide to a little known but revealing aspect of Tudor England."--Albion"The foreign community in 16th-century London has been little studied by English scholars....On this count alone, Pettegree's detailed account of the foreign Protestant church communities would be welcome; their religious and economic importance is undoubted. Pettegree's extensive research in archival and printed materials now makes it possible to be considerably more precise about the actual nature of that importance."--CHOICE"A good account of the strangers' role in international affairs."--The Journal of British Studies
