Hi, with reference to “les Belges brassent près de huit cent variétés de bière ?”, “les Belges brassent près de huit-cent sortes de bière ?”, and “les Belges brassent près de 800 types de bière ?”.

Hello! I'm confused about the sentence: "Pour que tous les habitants comprennent, le roi François Ier décide en 1539 .... " If the English translation takes place in the past tense (the king François decided), why does the phrase seem to be conjugated in the present tense? Why not "le roi François Ier a décidé?" Merci!
Why is it "en weekend" instead of "un weekend"? Surely,the article is called for rather than the preposition. Thanks.
I'm confused because on many other sites I see both these used as conditionnel. E.g., J'avais pu = I had been able to/could have
Si tu avais pu, tu aurais fait = If you could have, you would have.
Please explain.
