TheTreaty of Montpellier (or thePeace of Montpellier) was signed inMontpellier on 18 October 1622 between KingLouis XIII of France andDuke Henry II of Rohan. The treaty followed thesiege of Montpellier and ended hostilities between French royalists and theHuguenots. It confirmed the religious tenets of theEdict of Nantes and pardoned Rohan, but reduced the number of Huguenotplaces de sûreté (military installations) to two: inLa Rochelle andMontauban. The Huguenots would have to raze their other fortifications. They also would thenceforth be forbidden from holding their general assemblies and synods.
This peace would last only two years, as neither the King for the Huguenots were ready to respect its terms. The brother of Rohan,Benjamin, Duke of Soubise, attacked a royal fleet in thebattle of Blavet in January 1625.
