	Edict of Nantes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Edict of Nantes was issued on April 13, 1598 by Henry IV of France to grant French Protestants (also known as Huguenots) substantial rights in a nation still considered essentially Catholic.
		The main concern was civil unity, and the Edict separated civil from religious unity, treated some Protestants for the first time as more than mere schismatics and heretics, and opened a path for secularism and tolerance.
		The Edict of Nantes that Henry signed comprised four basic texts, including a principal text made up of more than ninety articles and largely based on unsuccessful peace treaties hammered out during the recent troubles.
