The Edict of Nantes
The Edict of Nantes, issued in 1598, granted substantial rights and protections to French Protestants (Huguenots). Its revocation in 1685 by King Louis XIV, through the Edict of Fontainebleau, abolished these rights, mandating the conversion of Huguenots to Catholicism and prohibiting Protestant worship. This led to widespread persecution, the closure of Protestant churches, and the emigration of many Huguenots, significantly impacting France's economy and cultural landscape.
