Peace of Passau
From Biocrawler, the free encyclopedia.
In August 1552, confronted by fierce resistance from Protestant forces, and weary from three decades of religious civil war, the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V guaranteed Lutheran religious freedoms in the Peace of Passau. A precursor to the Peace of Augsburg of September, 1555, the Peace of Passau effectively surrendered Charles V's lifelong quest for European religious unity.
