Jece, you are right. The funny thing is that I was thinking of this man, but I thought to check it with wikipedia (as I am always quite insecure), and it had it wrong, driving me to believe I was mistaken. Since then, it was corrected, and I promised myself next time not to be so easy to dismiss my memory as faulty.

1563 AD The Edict of Amboise stops the prosecution and violence against the protestants (Huguenots)... temporarily.

1565 Suleiman the Magnificent is at the peak of his power, so it is for the Ottoman Empire. Having ejected the Knights of Saint John from the east Mediterranean, taking the island of Rodes and the Frankish and Venetian forces from Greece, he's planning to consolidate his position by taking Malta and controlling the passage from east to west and vice versa. Unfortunately for him, the Knights find out and have time to prepare for a siege. They gather troops and supplies and strengthened their fortifications while building some new ones. The siege started on May 18th and lasted until September 12, when the defeated Turks had to lift the siege.

1567 On February 10, Henry Stuart, Lord Darnley, husband of Mary, Queen of Scots, is murdered at the Provost's House in Kirk o' Field, Edinburgh, by an explosion of several gunpowder kegs. On May 15 – Mary, scandalously, marries James Hepburn, 4th Earl of Bothwell. Understandably, a month later she loses power after the battle of Carberry Hill.

1570:
Construction begins on the Catedral de Nuestra Señora de La Asunción, the oldest standing church in Venezuela. The current building is not entirely original, however, as it was partially destroyed by French exiles in the 1590s.

In 1589 the Grand Duke Ferdinando de' Medici and the French princess Christine of Lorraine married... a catalyst for many years of connection and intrigue between Firenze and France. (The two flags are even similar.) Apparently, the wedding was the social, political, and artistic event of the year.
