Christianus Hußon. Born abt 1550 in Ronse, Land van Aalst, Graafschap Vlaanderen, Habsburg Netherlands, Holy Roman Empire. Christianus died in Gft. Isenburg, aft 1607; he was 57.
Christianus Hußon (also Huson, Heyson, Heuson) migrated or fled from Ronse, County of Aalst (part of the County of Flanders), Spanish Netherlands before 1589, possibly in 1559 or shortly thereafter. By 1589 he was in the Burg Dreiechenhain, Electoral Palatinate (Kur-Pfalz). He was a district wine steward in 1607 for the Lords of Wolfskehlen at Burg Leustadt (near Ortenberg), Grafschaft (County of) Isenburg.
The city of Ronse was an important Calvinist community from the 1540s to early 1560s. Ronse had been a booming centre of linen industry. The Roman Catholic Habsburg monarchy of Spain controlled the Netherlands, implemented the Inquisition, and through war imposed a severe Counter-Reformation to crush Protestantism to restore Roman Catholicism. The Spanish Duke of Parma with his army was in charge of restoring Catholicism. On 21 July 1559, the Ronse was destroyed by fire. After the city burnt, the defeated Protestants weavers fled north to Province of Holland in the United Provinces (Republic of the Seven United Netherlands) while many in the upper classes fled to the German States, England and parts of the United Provinces of the Netherlands. By 1584 Spain restored Roman Catholicism to Flanders with no religious toleration for Protestants leading to a large migration between 1583 and 1589 of Protestants from Ronse and other Flemish cities to the German States, England and parts of the United Provinces of the Netherlands.
Given the situation in Ronse in the 1550s and 1560s, Christianus Hußon was likely a religious refugee from that city then or in the 1580s at the latest.
The family resided on Adelrain, a mountain ridge in Frutigen.
