Treaty of Loudun

Treaty of Loudun

The Treaty of Loudun was signed on May 3, 1616 between Queen Marie de Medici and the rebellious princes led by Henry II, the third Prince of Condé. The agreement officially ended the revolts that many nobles in France had established. Based on the terms of the treaty, the Huguenots were allowed to unite their churches in France with those in Béarn. Moreover, the treaty granted amnesty to the princes of Condé. However, Queen Marie had Henry II arrested on September 3, 1616. [Parker, p. 70.]
