  • Protestant peasants rebelled against the officially sanctioned dragonnades (conversions enforced by dragoons, labeled "missionaries in boots") that followed the Edict of Fontainebleau.

• The Sun-King and Authoritarianism

  • His mother, Anne of Austria, was named regent in spite of her late husband's wishes.
  • Responding to petitions, Louis initially excluded Protestants from office, constrained the meeting of synods, closed churches outside Edict of Nantes-stipulated areas, banned Protestant outdoor preachers, and prohibited domestic Protestant migration.

• French Architecture in the Northern Renaissance

  • The largest of Francis's building projects was the reconstruction and expansion of the royal Château of Fontainebleau, which quickly became his favorite place of residence, as well as the residence of his official mistress (Anne, Duchess of Étampes).
  • Together their style of decoration became known as the first School of Fontainebleau.
  • Broadly speaking, at Fontainebleau the Renaissance was introduced to France.
  • Fontainebleau, for instance, had a gushing fountain in its courtyard where quantities of wine were mixed with the water.
  • Among the most striking works of art within Fontainebleau was the Nymphe de Fontainebleau (1542) by the Italian sculptor Benvenuto Cellini.

• The Rise of Christianity

  • Persecutory laws were nullified by different emperors at different times, but Constantine and Licinius's Edict of Milan (313) has traditionally marked the end of the persecution.
  • Constantine, Caesar in the Western empire and Licinius, Caesar in the East, also were signatories to the edict of toleration.
  • The Edict of Milan went a step further than the earlier Edict of Toleration by Galerius in 311 and returned confiscated Church property.
  • This edict made the empire officially neutral with regard to religious worship; it neither made the traditional religions illegal nor made Christianity the state religion (as did the later Edict of Thessalonica in 380 CE).
  • The Edict of Milan did, however, raise the stock of Christianity within the empire and it reaffirmed the importance of religious worship to the welfare of the state.

• Ashoka's Conversion

  • Edict 13 on the Edicts of Ashoka Rock Inscriptions reflect the great remorse the king felt after observing the destruction of Kalinga:
  • The edict goes on to address the even greater degree of sorrow and regret resulting from Ashoka's understanding that the friends and families of deceased would suffer greatly too.
  • The use of Buddhist sources in reconstructing the life of Ashoka has had a strong influence on perceptions of Ashoka, as well as the interpretations of his Edicts.
  • In his edicts, Ashoka expresses support for all the major religions of his time: Buddhism, Brahmanism, Jainism, and Ajivikaism.
  • However, the edicts alone strongly indicate that he was a Buddhist.

• Expansion of the Maurya Empire

  • Perhaps one of the greatest-known accomplishments of Ashoka was his creation of his edicts, which were erected between 269 BCE and 232 BCE.
  • The Edicts of Ashoka, set in stone, are found throughout the Subcontinent.
  • Ashoka's edicts refer to the Greeks, Kambojas, and Gandharas as peoples forming a frontier region of his empire.
  • Ashoka's edicts also mentioned social and cultural attributes of his empire, emphasizing Buddhism, though not condemning other religions.
  • For this, the Edicts of Ashoka are known as an early document that promoted religious tolerance.

• The Northern Renaissance

  • Each of these regional expressions of the Renaissance evolved with different characteristics and strengths.
  • The High Renaissance art of Michelangelo and Raphael and the stylistic tendencies of Mannerism had a significant impact on their work.
  • In France, the School of Fontainebleau, which was originally founded by Italians such as Rosso Fiorentino, succeeded in establishing a durable national style.
  • One of the most well-known Romanists was Jan Mabuse.
  • The influence of Michelangelo and Raphael showed in the use of mythology and nudity in this particular piece.

• The French Wars of Religion

  • The war began when the Catholic League convinced King Henry III to issue an edict outlawing Protestantism and annulling Henry of Navarre's right to the throne.
  • The warfare was finally quelled in 1598 when Henry IV recanted Protestantism in favour of Roman Catholicism, issued the Edict of Nantes.
  • The Edict established Catholicism as the state religion of France, but granted the Protestants equality with Catholics under the throne and a degree of religious and political freedom within their domains.
  • The Edict simultaneously protected Catholic interests by discouraging the founding of new Protestant churches in Catholic-controlled regions.
  • With the proclamation of the Edict of Nantes, and the subsequent protection of Huguenot rights, pressures to leave France abated.

• A word about "bad people"

  • And the answer, after a bit of discussion, was obviously ‘no'.
  • Since the end result of the changes being requested would eventually end up benefiting everyone, Womack explained that the real problem was not the change itself, but rather a lack of discussion, inclusion and negotiation with those who saw themselves as losers in order to make everyone whole.
  • Such is what all too often happens with internal and external customers when managers or teams choose to think by themselves and then broadcast edicts rather than work collaboratively with every stakeholder.
