In the Peace of Augsburg of 1555, Charles V agreed with the German princes that the religious beliefs of each prince would determine which religion - either Catholic or Protestant - would be dominant in his country. The wording in Latin of that agreement has gone down in history as "cuius regio, eius religio".
