1. Because of the Edict of Nantes...

Explanation

The correct answer is "The two religions had to grudgingly tolerate each other." This is because the Edict of Nantes, issued in 1598 by King Henry IV of France, granted religious freedom and tolerance to the Protestants (Huguenots) in France. However, it did not establish perfect peace between the Catholics and Protestants. While the edict allowed for coexistence, there were still tensions and occasional conflicts between the two religious groups. Therefore, they had to grudgingly tolerate each other rather than living in perfect peace.
