Huguenots of the Cévennes, who took up arms by thousands in serious revolt against Louis XIV., in which others joined, under Jean Cavalier their chief, after, and in consequence of, the revocation of the Edict of Nantes; so called because they wore a camiso (Fr. a chemise ), a blouse over their armour; were partly persuaded and partly compelled into submission by Marshal Villars in 1704.
