Question
- How did Henry IV end the French wars of religion between Catholics and Protestant Huguenots? A. He issued an edict giving the Huguenots political control strike of the country. B. He issued an edict declaring Catholicism the sole religion of the kingdom. C. He issued an edict tolerating the Huguenots throughout the kingdom. D. He issued an edict granting the same rights to Huguenots and Catholics.
Solution
C. He issued an edict tolerating the Huguenots throughout the kingdom.
Henry IV ended the French wars of religion between Catholics and Protestant Huguenots by issuing the Edict of Nantes in 1598. This edict granted the Huguenots substantial rights in a nation still considered essentially Catholic. In this way, he sought to promote civil unity. The edict separated civil from religious unity, treated some Protestants for the first time as more than mere schismatics, and opened a path for secularism and tolerance. In offering general freedom of conscience to individuals, the edict offered many specific concessions to the Protestants, such as amnesty and the reinstatement of their civil rights, including the right to work in any field or for the state and to bring grievances directly to the king.
