Fendeurs
Fendeurs
A supposed French Rosicrucian society that flourished in the mid-seventeenth century. It appears to have been formed in the twelfth century as a league to combat severe forest laws in France. The fendeurs were hewers, and their organization was similar to that of the Italian Carbonari or charcoal burners.
