Alsace was only attached to France in 1648, when king Louis XIVth installed a restrictive anti-lutheran policy. The Montbéliard region, however, was relatively independant and became a country of refuge for French protestants. The anabaptists, who had been forced to flee from Switzerland, were able to settle in Alsace.
