Royal Edicts (Religious Legal Instruments)

Edicts issued by kings that set the status of a religion in a kingdom, such as the Alhambra Decree, the Edict of Expulsion of 1290, the Edict of Fontainebleau, the Edict of Nantes and the Temple Entry Proclamation of Travancore. An entry belongs here when its article presents a decree by a king. The group page lists texts of the same legal kind together so that a reader can compare how religious authority and state power are put into writing.
