Edict of Potsdam

For over a century now Europe has seen the effects of the Reformation and Counter-Reformation. As religious borders begin to solidify many Protestants or Reformed subjects of Catholic rulers find themselves on the run. With the revocation of edicts of tolerance hundreds of thousands seek a new home.\nBrandenburg is not a densely populated region. If we were to offer these men and women refuge and pay for new homes and perhaps a tax exemption until they get stabilized we could undoubtedly harbor many of them.
