One key way in which the rule of Henry IV differed from that of Louis XIII and his chief minister, Cardinal Richelieu, pertains to the treatment of the Huguenots (French Protestants). Henry IV, originally a Protestant, issued the Edict of Nantes in 1598, which granted significant religious tolerance and civil rights to the Huguenots, effectively ending the religious wars in France and curbing persecution against Protestants.

In contrast, under Louis XIII and Cardinal Richelieu, the policy towards the Huguenots shifted significantly towards repression. Richelieu, in particular, saw the Huguenots as a political threat to royal authority because of their fortified cities and independent military forces. His administration led to the Siege of La Rochelle (1627-1628), which was a decisive action against Huguenot power in France.

Thus, the correct answer is:

O Henry ended persecution of Huguenots.
