Descripción del sitio
When Raleigh was about seventeen years old, he went to Jarnac, France to fight for the Huguenots. The Huguenots were French Protestants, who were forced to flee France, due to religious persecution. The King of France was forcing his countrymen to be Catholic. The Huguenots did not want to be Catholic, or in other words wanted religious freedom. In England, the people there were also Protestants. Raleigh decided to help the Huguenots fight, because he supported them completely.
