"Edict du Roy, & Declaration sur les precedents Edicts de Pacification" by Henry IV is an edict of tolerance promulgated in April 1598. Issued to end the devastating Wars of Religion that had torn France apart since 1562, this landmark decree granted Protestants religious, civil, and political rights in certain parts of the kingdom. Unlike previous peace edicts that failed to take hold, this edict was actually enforced through Henry IV's hard-won authority, marking a turning point in French history.
