There's an error in the text. It says they were Huguenots who left after the Edict of Nantes, which is not true. They left after the revocation of the Edict of Nantes in 1685, which had protected Huguenots until then. This last edict is called the Edict of Fontainebleau.
So they left after the Edict of Fontainebleau.
Fantasy is such an underappreciated genre. I recently read an ARC on RoyalRoad of all places by one of our own (it’s called Farisa’s Crossing) and was blown away.
The way I explain it to my friends who only read contemporary literary fiction is that fantasy is what we’ve been doing as storytellers for thousands of years, which means there’s a lot of implicit knowledge in the craft when done at the highest levels. I also enjoy literary fiction for the writing and the sheer talent it takes to make ordinary, believable events nearly fantastic—or at least compelling—but it’s not either/ or and the idea that there’s some hierarchy of genres is hogwash.

So it's still technically correct in a Mitch Hedbergian sense?
After the Edict. But also after the revocation of the Edict.
I suppose one could also say “After the Edict” as if “the Edict” were the period of time it was in effect.

Review of The Brothers Grimm: A Biography
Ogres are like networks. Networks have layers, Ogres have layers. They both have layers.
And they are both terrifying and make you cry? -Person who has done cisco networking
...as does parfait.
This was an interesting Tor of some memes.
"in the United States sometimes spelled lede"
I thought this said Orgies Are Cool on first glance..
They are most certainly not. It suffers from the nude beach paradox: Anyone who wants you to see them naked, is not someone you want to see naked.
It's an odd paradox, since people go to nude beaches to be nude, not to be seen naked.
