TREATY OF BERGERAC

(Redirected from Peace of Bergerac)
The 'Treaty of Bergerac' (also known as the 'Edict of Poitiers') was signed on September 17, 1577 between Henry III of France and Huguenot princes. This accord was developed after the sixth phase of the French Wars of Religion. The treaty replaced the Edict of Beaulieu, which was deemed by the Catholic League as too favorable to Protestants. Based on the terms of the treaty, Huguenots were only allowed to practice their faith in the suburbs of one town in each judicial district. In Vivarais, the treaty was recognized in late October 1577.
