Peace of Passau |
|
|
Peace of PassauIn August 1552, confronted by fierce resistance from Protestant forces, and weary from three decades of religious civil war, the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V guaranteed Lutheran religious freedoms in the Peace of Passau. A precursor to the Peace of Augsburg of September, 1555, the Peace of Passau effectively surrendered Charles V's lifelong quest for European religious unity.
