Treaty of Nantes (not applicable to Henry II)

The Treaty of Nantes, signed in 1598, was an agreement in France that aimed to promote religious peace between Catholics and Huguenots (French Protestants). It granted limited rights and freedoms to Huguenots, allowing them to worship and some political privileges, while maintaining Catholic dominance. The treaty helped reduce conflicts and violence during the French Wars of Religion, providing a temporary national stability. However, it was not a permanent solution; tensions and disputes continued later, leading to its eventual revocation in the 17th century.
