the peace of augsburg protected catholicism and lutheranism, but not calvinism. thus, in 1613, when john sigismund, elector of brandenburg converted from lutheranism to calvinism, he could not exercise the principle of "cuius regio, eius religio". this situation paved the way for bi- or multi-denominational monarchies, wherein a ruler adhering to a creed different from most of his subjects would permit conversions to his minority denomination and immigration of his fellow faithful. in 1648, the peace of westphalia extended the principle of "cuius regio, eius religio" to calvinism.
