jul 19, 1598 - Edict of Nantes
Description:
The Edict of Nantes is when the French King announced that the French Calvinists have the same rights as the Catholics. This affected society because it shows a beginning for a new era of toleration among people of different religions. This of course is only one small step in a series of steps leading to full toleration but is a good starting point.
