“The Warsaw Confederation, concluded by the Convocation Sejm and dated 28 January 1573, guaranteed religious peace and civil equality for non-Catholic nobles; it was added to UNESCO's Memory of the World register in 2003, but it had no enforcement mechanism, and its provisions bound only the nobility, not peasants or townspeople.”
Context. Historians debate whether its tolerance extended to all social classes or only to the nobility.
