Religious settlement

Why he adbujed

• If he took to the throne he would win other moderates but who were war weary
• An imediate relgious convestion was out the question but he won ober the support of royal caths because of his broad comitment to cath monarch
• Statemate between possible candidates HIV ruled out cos he was a P and if he was cath their would not be any opposition
• Had to bribe to gain support of two governors (spent 30 mill in the end)
• Still massive opposition from Leuge that was seen when he could be crowned in Reims as they were in control of this town
• He got an agreement from Pope Clement and this gained further support
• Pleased most moderates who were war weary but still hadnt won over extream catholics 

The proterstants didnt want to compromise but HIV gained enough power to inforce the edict it consists of- 4 seperate documents-92 general articles-56 seret articles and 2 royal warants                                Gave hug relgious tolerance- 

• 3 different ways that they can worship
• Hugs could acure or inherit positions in offices of state and or enter any profestional ocupation
• Acess to all schools,universities and hospitals 
• Bi partisan courts were brought in (worked well)

Royal warrant  - gave hugs military and pollitical indepencence

• provided for proterstant pastorsd paida for from public 
• The secound set aside a anual fund of 18,000 for 8 years for the payment of garrisons in about 50 hug towns as well as 150 emergency forts 80 forts which they had fund themselves
• 
  

• Hugs still not on the same footing as the cath church 
• COuld only worship in clear well defined places
• A no of leuge cities said they never allow P worship
• Cathedral cities temples couldn't be built and many were in suburbs
• Had to stop on Cath feast days and pay tithes to cath preists
• Hug book could onlyu be published Hug towns
• Based on a personal promise 
• HIV started the rebuilding of Catholicsim 

• Passing the edict was no easy task-had to be registered by various parliments as Caths in parl who didnt like hug benifits 
• HIV took it easy but in 07 feb called a paris parliment and made a remarkeble speech-3weeks later it was passed
• Rouen held out until 1609
• In the provinces royal commisioners semt out to enforce the edict but met resisance from the extreamist catyhs 
• Towns in which proterstants were a minority made it difficult to enforce the edict
• The implementation of the edict proved difficult and took years to complete
• Overall it was a sucess as it stoped open war
• Success was seen as instead of fighting took it to court-thosands of lawsuits-chambre de l edict  
• HIV involved Hugs in court and rebuilding paris

THE EDICT WAS NOT LONG TERM THOUGH AS THEIR WAS A WAR AFTER HIVS DEATH
