	The Edict Of Nantes (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		That the Edict of Nantes was simply an edict of tolerance and nothing more can easily be shown in the sphere of religion wherein the official religion, that of the king as well as of the state was, as was also true of all of their predecessors, the Catholic, Apostolic and Roman Church.
		Quite obviously, the Edict of Nantes is a purely legislative text, an act of royal power regulating a case in particular, in a well-defined situation and without bringing into question the (unwritten) fundamental law of the kingdom, nor its relations with the Catholic Church.
		The benefit of tolerance is therefore essentially precarious as well as revocable and the Protestants of 1685, at the time of the revocation of the Edict of Nantes, were not necessarily justified in insisting upon the upholding of that 87 year-old Edict.

		The massacre of St. Bartholomew was a plan laid by the infamous Catharine de Medici, queen dowager of France, in concert with her weak and bigoted son, Charles IX., for the extirpation of the French protestants, who were called by the name of Huguenots.
		This was called the edict of Nantes, and though far from removing all disabilities on account of religion, was received by the protestants with joy and gratitude.
		Thus evident is it not only that the acknowledged head of the apostate church of Rome approved of the horrid barbarities inflicted upon the French protestants, but that he regarded their perpetrator as conferring a special favor upon that church, thus entitling himself to her lasting gratitude and her warmest thanks.
