Louis XIV and the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes
Beginning in the 16th century, Protestants in France struggled in their rapport with royal power. Protestants owed the recognition of their rights more to sovereign decrees than to genuine tolerance or religious pluralism. The realization that the monarch held the authority to revoke what had been granted led to suspicion and mistrust toward rulers. Under Louis XIV of France (r. 1643–1715), they lost the rights gained under Henry IV of France (r. 1589–1610).
Edict of Nantes Undermined
Louis XIV, known also as the Sun King (le Roi Soleil), was one of the most illustrious French kings. His reign was marked by cultural and military achievements as well as endless wars and religious intolerance. During the reign of his grandfather Henry IV, the effects of the Edict of Nantes in 1598 allowed French Catholics and Protestants to cohabitate in an uneasy peace. After the death of Henry IV in 1610, the Catholic Church and monarchy began plotting the removal of protections provided under the Edict of Nantes leading to its Revocation in 1685.
Early in Louis XIV’s reign, there was a season of religious tranquility for Protestants. With Cardinal Mazarin (l. 1601–1661) at his side, Louis XIV initially thought that strict respect for previous edicts and the refusal to grant additional rights was the most effective way to reduce the number of Protestants in his kingdom. Mazarin himself exercised tolerance in granting employment and government positions to Protestants, and he did not give satisfaction to the complaints of Catholic clergy who protested the construction of Protestant temples. A royal declaration in 1652 recognized Protestant fidelity to the Crown and promised the maintenance of the Edict of Nantes with the enjoyment of all its benefits. In 1656 this declaration was revoked and the exercise of Reformed religion was forbidden in places where it had recently been established. Provincial synods sent a delegation to present their grievances to the king who authorized them to hold a general synod in November 1659 at Loudun. The king’s representative reproached the Protestants in attendance for their insolence and announced that this would be their last general synod.
After the death of Mazarin, Louis XIV was determined to become the absolute master of his kingdom. With hostile measures, he sought to paralyze Protestant vitality and bring about conversions to Catholicism. The king reinstated the Commissions as the principal means of repression through which he sent commissioners into the provinces to investigate reported or supposed violations of the Edict of Nantes. Reformed churches were placed in an accusatory posture and had to justify their existence while Catholic Church representatives argued systematically for the closure of Reformed churches. Dozens of churches were forcibly closed in the provinces of Bas-Languedoc and the Cévennes where there were about 140,000 Protestants, or religionnaires as they were called.

Release: May 14, 2020
Lyrics:
All this time, all this time keeps fading
Feeling trapped inside
So afraid of the darkness talking
In my mind
It's been a long time coming
But it wasn't for nothing
Soul-searching for something, for something
Yeah, I just wanna feel alive with you
I'm down on my knees in the dust
I scream from the top of my lungs
I find my way back to a higher ground
Yeah, I just wanna feel alive
Deep in my bones
I know I'm not there but I'm close
I find my way back to a higher ground
Yeah, I just wanna feel alive with you
Yeah, I just wanna feel alive
Try to speak but my voice keeps breaking
Need to say what's wrong
So many smiles you have seen me faking
On and on
It's been a long time coming
But it wasn't for nothing
Soul-searching for something, for something
Yeah, I just wanna feel alive with you
I'm down on my knees in the dust
I scream from the top of my lungs
I find my way back to a higher ground
Yeah, I just wanna feel alive
Deep in my bones
I know I'm not there but I'm close
I find my way back to a higher ground
Yeah, I just wanna feel alive with you
Songwriter:
Yeah, I just wanna feel alive
With you, you, yeah
I just wanna feel alive
With you, you, yeah
I just wanna feel alive with you

And if there be untruth in this, and your daughter           guilty of love’s sweet crime - still can you not find it in you to forgive           so gently nurtured a child?

Exquisitely tinted pages from Tycho Brahe’s book Astronomiæ Instauratæ Mechanica, printed by Philipp von Ohr on Brahe's own printing press at Wandesburg castle in Wandsbeck, Hamburg, Germany, in 1598.
Shown are an overhead view and side view of Brahe's opulent observatory Uraniborg, located on the island of Hven between Denmark and Sweden. This science-palace was built around 1576 and was demolished in 1601 shortly after Brahe's death.
More details about this book at Christie's, which sold a copy in 1999 for $222,000.

Year 1598 Part 3:
TW/CW: Death Mention
Sadly news came in that Adrian’s nephew, Gilbert, had died back in Henford. Adrian hated hearing news like that but it made him even more grateful that his surviving family was doing relatively alright save for the drama going on from the Shanks branch of it. He was glad to have his daughter and granddaughters around him to keep him company again. 
It turned out that there would be reason to celebrate as well since Thomasin learned towards the end of the year that she was expecting.
