Massacre of Mérindol in 1545 as imagined by Gustave Doré. The Mérindol massacre took place in 1545, when Francis I of France ordered the Waldensians of the village of Mérindol to be punished for dissident religious activities. Provençal and papal soldiers killed hundreds or even thousands of Waldensian villagers.
