The Edict of Nantes and Edict of Tolerance are two separate edicts that basically stood for the same thing. The Edict of Nantes was enstated by King Henry IV of France in 1589 in which Protestant Calvinists in France were given the right to worship freely. It was revoked by King Louis XIV of France in 1685. This Edict stripped all religious freedom from those who were not Catholic and demanded they convert to Catholicism.
