Not 4 days ago, I had the unfortunate privledge to hear a person say that calvinist roots began with the hugonauts? er however you spell it. If you knew the context of the conversation to begin with, the quote, "it is better to appear stupid, rather than speak and remove all doubt" would come to mind.
However, I can't really research it at the moment, nor could I say anything when the statement was made. I prolly just appeared stupid as normal

Nontheless, I would like some help hear. History lesson, so to speak.

Calvin was French. The Huguenots were French. The Huguenots were influenced by Calvin but as far as I know Calvin did not consider himself to be their 'leader'. However, there is a connection between them.

The other thing to remember is that Calvinism did not begin with Calvin but, to a large degree, with Augustine. Calvin quotes him abundantly.
