Daniel Chamier headed the French Protestants in the reign of Henri IV and, according to Antoine Varillas (1626–1696) the French historian, drew up the Edict of Nantes.
“The Edict of Nantes, issued on April 13, 1598, by Henry IV of France, granted the Calvinist Protestants of France (also known as Huguenots) substantial rights in a nation still considered essentially Catholic.” [Wikipedia]
“Daniel Chamier (1564-1621) was an eminent French Protestant, born in Dauphiny, and killed by a cannon ball, at the siege of Montaubon.”… “By the time of his death he had established himself as one of the most prominent theologians of his generation, the author of numerous theological works, particularly polemical disputations with Roman Catholic theologians. His magnum opus, the Catholica Panstratia, or the wars of the Lord, is one of the most important published collections of controversies between the Protestant and Papists” [Ref: sacradoctrina.blogspot.com/2004_03_01_archive.html]
