The Edict of Toleration is actually the Edict of Milan which was to declare toleration of Christians in Milan. Licinius and Constantine were the ones who agreed on it.
Freedom to the Calvinist Protestants.
The Edict of Nantes was a religious freedoms act in France, under the reign of King Louis XIV in 1598. The Edict of Nantes protected the protestant minority religions in France such as the Huguenots, granting them religious freedom from persecution in the Catholic Majority nation. This edict was important in that it subjected the religious unity of the state to civil unity.
Constantine
Henry IV made the Edict of Nantes, it allowed the Huguenots to fortify their own, and have religious toleration. Henry IV improved every area of French life, roads, justice, bridges and agriculture. Richelieu made armies of Huguenots outlaws, whilst allowing them to practice their religion. He made nobles bow to the king by giving them post under him.
John Constantine And Chas
Constantine I and Licinius agreed to the Edict of Milan. Which was for the toleration of Christians.
Which one? There have probably been hundreds over the centuries. If you mean the Edict of Milan, it was the Western Roman Emperor Constantine I and the Eastern Roman Emperor Licinius Augustus. If you mean the Edict of Nantes it was Henry IV.
Christians to worship publicly
Galerius issued the Edict of Toleration, permitting freedom of religion throughout the Roman Empire. His co-emperors Constantine and Licinius jointly issued the Edict of Milan, which went a good deal further by granting positive advantages and privileges to the Christian community.
What Constantine reaffirmed the toleration of Christianity (in the Edict of Milan which he signed with his co-emperor Licinius) which had been decreed two earlier by the Edict of Toleration by (emperor Galerius) and completed the end of the great Persecution of Christians. The Edict of Milan also provided for the restitution of Christian property which had been confiscated during the persecution and compensation for those who returned it. Christians were free to worship their god.
Constantine completed the termination of the Great Persecution of Christians and reiterate the freedom to worship which had been decreed by the emperor Galerius in his Edict of Toleration of 311. He did so in the Edict of Milan he issued in 313 with his co-emperor Licinius. The edict established freedom of worship for all religions in the empire.
History shows that most Roman emperors were tolerant of Christianity. It was Galerius who formalised this by proclaiming the Edict of Toleration, overturning the Great Persecution of Diocletian.Constantine subsequently extended privileges to the Christian Church by the Edict of Milan.AnswerThe Roman emperor Galerius issued the Edict of Toleration that brought an end to the Great Persecution instituted by his predecessor, Diocletian. Strangely, it was Galerius who had pressured Diocletian to undertake the persecution of Christians. Constantine subsequently issued a further edict, the Edict of Milan that gave the Christians positive advantages.
Constantine the Great did not legalise Christianity. Christianity was persecuted, but it was not made illegal. Constantine finalised the end of the Great Persecution which had been decreed by the Edict of Toleration by (emperor) Galerius in 311. The Edict of Milan on 313 which Constantine signed together with Licinius, his co-emperor, reiterated the toleration of Christianity and provided for compensation by the state for those who returned Christian property which had been confiscated and sold during the Great Persecution. This edict was aimed at the governors of the provinces in the eastern part of the empire because a junior emperor in charge of Turkey Syria and Egypt ignored Galerius' edict and continued the persecution.

A:It is possible to exaggerate the importance of the Edict of Milan to the Christian Church, since it had already been granted official recognition by the Edict of Toleration. Emperor Constantine's Edict of Milan went further by granting additional rights to the Christian Church, including compensation for expropriated properties. However, the rights granted in the Edict of Milan come in the context of Constantine's patronage of the Church, which was of far greater value, both financially and spiritually, than the Edict of Milan. What the Edict did do was demonstrate throughout the Roman Empire the extent to which Constantine was prepared to favour Christianity over the more ancient beliefs.
