The public began to grow leery of the crooked church, and soon, they could no longer bite their tongues.
Among the church's most vocal opponents was Martin Luther, whose publication of the 95 Theses gave rise to the Protestant movement.
This reformed brand of Christianity gradually spread throughout Europe, planting flags across the continent.
France was among the first to latch onto the movement, and these new-wave Protestants became known as the Huguenots.
The exact origins of the Huguenot name is still disputed to this day, but most historians have agreed it is a French and German translation of the Swiss-German term, eidgenossen, meaning oath-fellowship.
The Huguenots mostly resided in the southern regions of France, along with the northern regions of Normandy and Picardy.
They shared quite a few similarities with the Protestant Walloons, who lived in what is now Belgium, but the two groups were unique communities.
Even so, both groups frequently convened to worship together as refugees.
The Huguenots, whose belief system incorporated a blend of unorthodox Waldensian and Calvinist teachings, continued to bloom, which did not sit well with the authorities.
Critics attributed the rise of Protestant-led riots to the no-good Huguenots.
The Huguenots were known iconoclasts who rejected statues, paintings, idols, and other religious images, as often seen in the numerous statues and stained glass artwork in Catholic churches.
Across Europe, rebellious Protestants seized Catholic churches and swiped all heretical images, destroying them with axes and hurling them into roaring bonfires.
The string of ambushes included the 1562 Looting of the Churches in Lyon, which were followed by similar attacks in Zurich, Copenhagen, Geneva, and many more.
