 French Wars of Religion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The essential first step in this was the negotiation of the Edict of Nantes, which, rather than being a kind of genuine toleration, was in fact a kind of permanent truce between the religions, with guarantees for both sides.
Religious toleration was once more at an end, and the Huguenots, along with a contingent of some fellow Protestant militias from Germany and Switzerland, fought the Catholics to another standstill — signalled by the Regent's Edict of Saint-Germain (8th August 1570), which once more allowed some religious toleration of the Huguenots.
The French Wars of Religion were a series of conflicts fought between Catholics and Huguenots (Protestants) from the middle of the sixteenth century to the Edict of Nantes in 1598, including civil infighting as well as military operations.
