Hungarian Reformed are marking the 450th anniversary of the 1568 Edict of Turda, a broad religious freedom declaration, rare for the Reformation era:

1568 Edict of Turda

"The 1558 Diet of Turda declared free practice of both the Catholic and Lutheran religions. In 1563 the Diet also accepted the Calvinist religion, and in 1568 it extended freedom to all religions, declaring that "It is not allowed to anybody to intimidate anybody with captivity or expelling for his religion" – a freedom unusual in medieval Europe. This Edict of Turda is the first attempt at legislating general religious freedom in Christian Europe"
