Restitutive revision


Restitutional Edict of Emperor Ferdinand II of March 6, 1629, resulting from the victories of Catholics in the battles of 1618-1628, ordering Protestants to return all the churches seized after the passanship (1552). The edict was made only in hereditary possessions of the emperor, after the Prague peace the emperor gave up his execution. The successors of Ferdinand confirmed their withdrawal from the enforcement of the Westphalian peace decree.

If the edict was to take place, more than 12 bishops and over 500 monasteries and other churches, which the Protestants have secularized since 1552, would return to Catholics. Drawing on his authority as an emperor, Ferdynand overlooked the usual legislative way in the Sejm. The pursuit of centralization and the strengthening of power in Germany have provoked the anti-Habsburg coalition of foreign states to become more actively involved in fighting in the Reich.
