In a series of persecutions ending in 1731, over 20,000 Protestants were expelled from their homeland by the Prince-Archbishops of Salzburg. Their expulsion triggered protests from the Protestant states within the Holy Roman Empire, and the King of Prussia offered to resettle them in his territory. Over 20,000 Salzburg Protestants accepted the Prussian offer and traveled the length of Germany to reach their new homes in Prussian Lithuania. The rest scattered to other Protestant states in Europe and the British colonies in America” (Wikipedia). Ref. STCN (4). Not in BnF, BL.
