Extract

The troubles in the Low Countries in the second half of the sixteenth century, occasioned by the progress of the reformation of religion, caused a large emigration to this country of Protestants, who settled, by special permission of the crown, in London, Norwich, and other places. Among these was a printer named Anthony de Solen, Solempne, de la Solemme or Solemne, who came to England in 1567 from Brabant, with his wife and two sons.

page 207 note a It will be noticed that this privilege granted to Jean Beraud, bookseller of Lyons, dated at Paris 9th May, 1578, was assigned by him to Jean Stratius by deed, dated 17th May, 1583. There must have been collusion with the authorities with regard to these dates, for the arrangement made by the Synod of Dordrecht to have the work written was only made on the 18th June, 1578.

page 208 note a Etienne L'Hermite, Sr sde la Fage, who died 1441, took the side of the Duke of Burgundy and settled in Brabant. This family is descended from Pierre L'Hermite, the celebrated preacher of the first crusade, who before he took holy orders had married Beatrice de Roucy, by whom he had a son and a daughter. From this son is descended the line which is still represented in France, and by two branches in this country.
