The 1598 Edict of Nantes granted France's Protestants the right to worship at home, but did not declare Protestantism the official religion of France, ban Catholics from worshipping in public, or expel Protestants from France. While the edict did allow Protestants to establish schools, it only permitted them in towns where Protestantism was the predominant religion, rather than wherever they wished.
