December 1578 CE

Hembyze attempts to suppress Catholicism completely in 1578, but the Prince of Orange, who is a moderate Calvinist and has guaranteed religious toleration to Catholics and Calvinists alike, opposes him.

With the support of Lord Ryhove, Orange forces Hembyze in December to lift restrictions against Catholic worship.
