That's the nice part about having your own country -- no more systemic discrimination or prohibition on owning land, or joining professional guilds, or having some king being upset about his debts and organizing a small confiscation of wealth.

From Wikipedia: "Middle Ages or medieval period lasted approximately from the 5th to late 15th centuries"

The Huguenots really became a thing at the end of 15th century. They were named after Besançon Hugues (1487 – 1532).
