The mediation of Catherine de' Medici, the Queen Mother, leads to the Edict of Union, signed at Rouen and registered at Paris on July 21, in which the crown accepts almost all the League's demands.
The King promises by its terms never to conclude a truce or peace with the "hérétiques", to forbid public office to any who would not take a public oath of their Catholicity and never to leave the throne to a prince who was not Catholic; secret clauses extend amnesty to all deeds of the Catholic League, accord support to its troops and make over to the League additional fortified places.
