Colloquy at Poissy

The Colloquy at Poissy was a religious conference which took place in Poissy, France, in 1561. Its object was to effect a reconciliation between the Catholics and Protestants (Huguenots) of France.

The conference was opened on September 9 in the refectory of the convent of Poissy, the French king (aged 11) himself being present. It broke up inconclusively a month later, on October 9, by which point the divide between the doctrines appeared irreconcilable.
