It's 1563. After the Edict of Amboise France settles into an uneasy peace. But after the conference of Bayonne the idea of a Catholic conspiracy starts gaining ground. The Second War of Religion begins with the Surprise of Meux. After blockading Paris and the Battle of Saint-Denis, the Huguenots are forced to retreat. But John Casimir comes to their aid from Germany, forcing Charles IX to conclude the Peace of Longjumeau.
The Third War of Religion starts with Alba's march along the Spanish Road and the execution of Egmont and Hoorn. The Catholics gain the upper hand after the battles at Jarnac and Moncontour, but after reinforcements from Wolfgang of Zweibrucken and the Army of Viscounts, the Protestants turn the table. The war concludes with the Treaty of Saint-Germaine.
