Peace of Beaulieu

The Peace of Beaulieu, signed in 1576, was an agreement that aimed to reduce conflict during the French Wars of Religion between Catholics and Huguenots (French Protestants). It granted the Huguenots limited religious freedoms and allowed them to hold certain towns and territories. The settlement was intended to bring peace and stability, but tensions remained. Overall, it was a step toward temporary coexistence amidst ongoing religious and political struggles in France.
