- In the Articuli Henriciani , one of the fundamental constitutional documents of the Polish-Lithuanian Rzeczpospolita , King Heinrich undertakes after the election to recognize the principle of free kingship . In addition, he is forbidden to introduce new taxes or to call a general contingent without the consent of the Polish Reichstag ( Sejm ). The Sejm itself is supposed to meet for six weeks every two years. Each Sejm had to choose 16 “ residents ” from among the senators . In the event of non-compliance with previous and new obligations, the Polish nobility is given the opportunity to renounce obedience. They are binding for all elected kings up to the year 1764 . The articles are supplemented by the aristocracy through the Pacta conventa , the respective specific government program of the new ruler.
France
- February 11th : The King Karl IX. Ordered siege of La Rochelle begins. In the fourth Huguenot War, the Catholic side wants to overthrow the city that has been left to the Huguenots as a refuge for French Protestantism and, if successful, hopes for a domino effect on other places. However, the war developed into an arduous siege war, mainly because the Huguenots were able to supply La Rochelle with English support via the sea. Rainfalls and epidemics lead to great losses among the Catholic troops, whereupon the French crown strives for peace. In the pacification of Boulogne, the Huguenots are granted amnesty and freedom of conscience, but they are only allowed to hold their services in public in La Rochelle, Nîmes and Montauban .

- April 20 : Paolo Veronese dates his oil painting The Banquet in Levi's House . The image of the Last Supper for the refectory of the Santi Giovanni e Paolo monastery in Venice was commissioned by Titian to replace the Last Supper, which was destroyed in a fire in the refectory in 1571 . About three months after the picture was hung in the Dominican monastery, the religious jurisdiction becomes active. Veronese is questioned by three Savi des Sacro Tribunals in the Cappella di S.Teodoro of St. Mark's Basilica on July 18th . Veronese has shown drunks, German mercenaries and short stature in the picture. After the questioning, he is asked to change the picture, which is later deleted from the protocol. Veronese inserts an inscription on the balustrade on the left and right: FECIT D. COVO. MAGNV. LEVI and LVCA CAP. V. So the picture can no longer be understood as the last supper , but it now refers to the feast in the Levi house mentioned in the Gospel of Luke .
