The Edict of Nantes, issued in 1598 by King Henry IV of France, granted substantial rights and protections to the Huguenots, or French Protestants, in a predominantly Catholic nation. It allowed them to practice their religion freely, maintain fortified towns, and hold public office, thereby promoting religious tolerance and civil peace. The edict aimed to end the long-standing religious wars in France and foster cohabitation between Catholics and Protestants. However, it was revoked in 1685 by Louis XIV, leading to renewed persecution of Huguenots.
