Warsaw Confederation
The Warsaw Confederation was an act adopted by the nobility of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth in 1573 that guaranteed religious peace and freedom among the nobility. It protected Catholics, Lutherans, Calvinists and Orthodox Christians at a time when religious violence such as the St Bartholomew's Day Massacre afflicted other parts of Europe. It made the Commonwealth exceptional in the confessional landscape of the time.
