Emigre is a French term that literally refers to a person who has "migrated out," but often carries a connotation of politico-social self-exile.The French Protestants (Huguenots), who were forced to leave France, following the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes, settled in bordering countries, which Catholic and Royalist Emigre sought to use as a base for counterrevolution against the French revolutionaries and Napoleon's regime.After the Storming of the Bastille, King Louis XVI of France directed several of the most conservative members of his court to leave the country for fear that they might be assassinated. Among this first group of emigres were the king’s youngest brother, the Comte d'Artois, and Queen Marie Antoinette's best friend, the Duchesse de Polignac. Later, in coordination with the king's failed attempt to escape Paris, the king's other brother, the Comte de Provence, also emigrated.
