Peace of Saint-Germain-en-Laye

The Peace of Saint-Germain-en-Laye was a treaty signed in 1570 that ended a conflict between France and the Huguenots (French Protestants). It granted the Huguenots religious freedom and some political rights, including limited control over certain towns. The treaty aimed to promote peace during the religious wars that had divided France. While it improved conditions for Protestants, it was also a temporary solution, as tensions remained, leading to further conflicts later on. The agreement marked a significant step toward religious toleration in France during that turbulent period.
