Death of Henry II in July 10th 1559 was beginning of the bloody conflict that pitched Huguenots against the Catholics for next 30 or so years. With Henri IV winning the throne, ultimate winner of the war was the Politiques, a moderate Catholics and royalists. Now, the challenge is to make the Huguenots ultimate winner of the war and make Calvinism dominant religion of France at least by 1650s with POV after Henry II’s death. “France” should not lose significant territories in the process. Bonus, if you can pull this off without significant foreign intervention on either side. Bigger Bonus, if you can pull this off with relatively small and bloodless conflict. :p
