Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Edict of Nantes, issued in 1598 by King Henry IV of France, attempted to institutionalize some religious toleration by granting a limited amount of religious freedom to Protestants (Huguenots) in France. This was significant because it helped to end the French Wars of Religion and prevented further religious conflict in the country.
