A See also:month later the Vaudois were received into favour by the duke of Savoy, who had then abandoned his See also:alliance' with France for one with See also:Great See also:Britain and Holland. Hence for the next six years the Vaudois helped Savoy against "France, though suffering much from the repeated attacks of the See also:French troops.
