The Peace of Augsburg, signed in 1555, ended the religious conflict between the Catholic and Protestant princes of the Holy Roman Empire. It established the principle that each territorial prince could determine the religion of his subjects, either Catholicism or Lutheranism. This was known as the principle of cuius regio, eius religio (whose realm, his religion). It did not recognize Calvinism, which led to further religious conflicts.
