The January Edict, issued in January 1562 by Catherine de' Medici in France, aimed to establish a temporary truce between Catholics and Huguenots (French Protestants) during the early stages of the French Wars of Religion. It granted limited religious freedoms to Huguenots, allowing them to worship in specific locations and under certain conditions. However, the edict faced strong opposition from both Catholic hardliners and Protestant extremists, ultimately failing to prevent further conflict. Its temporary nature highlighted the deep divisions in French society at the time.
