Henry of Navarre was crowned king of France In 1589-1610, and was concurrently the king of Navarre from 1572-1610. He ascended the throne after Henry III, thus becoming Henry IV.
He was very tolerant of religion (in this time), had converted from Calvinism to Catholicism before his ascension to the throne; Henry was a very popular king, having great concern for the welfare of his subjects. He signed the Edict of Nantes in 1598 which allowed the Protestants freedom to practice their faith, which thus ended the civil war. He also worked very hard to improve not only his kingdom, but subjects as well. Among his achievements, he built canals, improved civil services and public works; worked to curb deforestation by planting trees along the highways, ordering pines, fruit and elm trees to be mass planted. Through his minister (or right hand man) Henry also worked hard to regularize state finances, promote agriculture, drain swamps to create more crop land, & promoted education with the creation of the Collège Royal Henri-le-Grand in La Flèche.
