From The Rank of the Rancks:
When in 1685 King Louis XIV revoked the edict of Nantes and resumed the unbridled perseccution of Protestants, ordering all Huguenot clergymen to leave France in fourteen days, Rev. Jean Ranc, then
forty four years of age, fled with his family from Paris to escape the death which would undoubtedly have been their lot.
When the persecution of the Huguenots ressumed with bitter vengeance, La Rochelle no longer existed as a haven and there was little political or military power to restrain the vengeful King.  Rev.
Jean Ranc, with his wife and son Hans Valentine, fled first to the Alsatian city of Strasburg on the Rhine.  It was not long until the armies of Louis recaptured that city, which throughout its
history was sometimes German and sometimes French territory.  The refugees had to flee even farther down the Rhine to Mannheim.
The Rev. died in Mannheim.
There is some validity to connect him with Bernadin du Ranc, Seigneur de Vibrac but it is impossible to make a direct connection other than to suggest that he was the younger son, cadet, who did not
inherit the title.
