The Chronicle of Henry of Livonia from the 1220s gives a firsthand account of the Christianization of Livonia, granted as a fief by the Hohenstaufen Holy Roman Emperor, de facto but not known as the King of Germany, Philip of Swabia, to Bishop Albert of Buxthoeven, nephew of the Hartwig II, Archbishop of Bremen, who sailed with a convoy of ships filled with armed crusaders to carve out a Catholic territory in the east during the Livonian Crusade.

* 1598 – Henry IV of France issues the Edict of Nantes, allowing freedom of religion to the Huguenots.

Henry IV notably enacted the Edict of Nantes in 1598, which guaranteed religious liberties to the Protestants, thereby effectively ending the civil war.

* April 13 – Edict of Nantes: Henry IV of France grants French Huguenots equal rights with Catholics ; this is considered the end of the French Wars of Religion.

Louis XIV was staunchly Catholic and he revoked the Edict of Nantes on 18 October 1685, undoing the religious tolerance established by grandfather, Henry IV, almost a hundred years before.

The Edict remained unaltered in effect, registered by the parliaments as " fundamental and irrevocable law ," with the exception of the brevets, which had been granted for a period of eight years, and were renewed by Henry in 1606 and in 1611 by Marie de Médecis, who confirmed the Edict within a week of the assassination of Henry, stilling Protestant fears of another St. Bartholomew's Day massacre.

In October 1685, Louis XIV, the grandson of Henry IV, renounced the Edict and declared Protestantism illegal with the Edict of Fontainebleau.

The principal and most salient provisions of Henry IV ’ s Edict of Nantes, as promulgated at Nantes in Brittany on 13 April 1598, include:

In 1598, King Henry IV of France signed the Edict of Nantes here, which granted Protestants rights to their religion.

The warfare was definitively quelled in 1598, when Henry of Navarre, having succeeded to the French throne as Henry IV, and recanted Protestantism in favour of Roman Catholicism, issued the Edict of Nantes.

In 1576, Henry signed the Edict of Beaulieu, granting many concessions to the Huguenots.

The Edict of Beaulieu granted many concessions to the Calvinists, but they were short-lived in the face of the Catholic League which the ultra-Catholic, Henry I, Duke of Guise, had formed in opposition to it.

After much posturing and negotiations, Henry III rescinded most of the concessions that had been made to the Protestants in the Edict of Beaulieu with the Treaty of Bergerac ( September 1577 ), confirmed in the Edict of Poitiers passed six days later.

Henry and his advisor, the Duke of Sully saw the essential first step in this to be the negotiation of the Edict of Nantes, which, rather than being a sign of genuine toleration, was in fact a kind of grudging truce between the religions, with guarantees for both sides.

Indeed, in January 1599, Henry had to visit the Parlement in person to have the Edict passed.

His work on the Huguenots appeared in three parts, entitled respectively History of the Rise of the Huguenots of France ( 2 vols, 1879 ), The Huguenots and Henry of Navarre ( 2 vols, 1886 ), and The Huguenots and the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes ( 2 vols, 1895 ), is described by the 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica as being " characterized by painstaking thoroughness, by a judicial temper, and by scholarship of a high order ".

* Edict of Nantes ( 1598 ), by King Henry IV of France.

Two lords – Theobald V, Count of Blois, son of the Count of Champagne, and Geoffrey, Count of Nantes ( brother of Henry II, Duke of Normandy ) – tried to kidnap Eleanor to marry her and claim her lands on Eleanor's way to Poitiers.

Henry destroyed the remaining adulterine castles and expanded his power through various means and to different levels into Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Flanders, Nantes, Brittany, Quercy, Toulouse, Bourges and Auvergne.

She intervened in the quarrels between her eldest son Henry and her second son Geoffrey, Count of Nantes, but peace between the brothers was brief.

Over the winter she stayed with the French court at Blois, then spent the summer with Henry II visiting Tours, Angers and Nantes.

** April 1598-Edict of Nantes issued by Henry IV

With this work, Bodin became one of the founders of the pragmatic inter-confessional group known as the politiques, who ultimately succeeded in ending the Wars of Religion under King Henry IV, with the Edict of Nantes ( 1598 ).

Henry demanded the return of Nantes, and when he obtained control of it from Conan IV, became the Count of Nantes, without obligation to the Duke of Brittany ( later Dukes would eventually reunite Nantes to Brittany ).

Under the rule of King Henry IV, the Edict of Nantes was passed, granting religious toleration and limited autonomy to the Huguenots and ensuring a lasting peace for France.

Henry had declared war on Spain in 1595 and had recently promulgated the Edict of Nantes, on 13 April.
