   • 1871, James Anthony Froude, History of England from the Fall of Wolsey to the Death of Elizabeth, page 394

     The King of Navarre suddenly abandoned his party and went over to the Catholics.

     The explanation of his apostasy was as simple as it was base : Navarre had no confidence in the success of his cause, and he cared little in his heart for anything but women and vanity.

2. Specifically, the renunciation of ones religion or faith.
