What did the Peace of Saint-Germain attempt to settle in 1570?

The Peace of Saint-Germain, signed in August 1570, was an attempt to settle the third of the French Wars of Religion by arranging a compromise between the Catholic crown and the Huguenots.12

Following the military exhaustion of both sides after the battles of Jarnac and Moncontour, the treaty sought to restore order and peace. It granted the Huguenots a very liberal edict, which included provisions for religious toleration. Many, including Catherine de’ Medici, hoped this agreement would finally bring the civil wars to an end. To further solidify this reconciliation, the crown later arranged for the marriage of Margaret of Valois to the Protestant leader Henry of Navarre.234
