avec Infini Regret IV

Jarnac • March 13, 1569
The protestant rearguard led by Admiral de Coligny is threatened by the entire Catholic army crossing the Charente near Jarnac. The heavily outnumbered Huguenots put up a desperate fight. Threatened with being turned on their right by the reîtres, the Protestants retreated in good order.
Condé, at the head of 300 lances, threw himself into the battle to delay the enemy’s advance. The gendarmes only managed to push the Catholics back for a short time. At the height of the charge, Condé was unhorsed; immobilized, he handed his sword to a Catholic gentleman as a sign of surrender. Then Montesquiou, captain of the King’s guard, intervened, shouting “Tuez...Mordiou...Tuez!” and fired a pistol at point-blank range, killing the Prince instantly.
In control of the battlefield, the Royal Army was unable to capitalize on this victory.

Arques • September 21, 1589
Henri IV is waiting near Dieppe for reinforcements and money from England. The Ligueurs, led by the Duke of Mayenne, wish to prevent this landing and attack the royal troops entrenched at the junction of two valleys. The Ligueurs’ attack, led by cavalry on the front and lansquenets on the left wing, broke through the Royalists’ solid defenses. The latter counter-attacked and drove the enemy back to their original positions.
With no way of breaking through the defenses, the Ligueurs withdrew, leaving the victory to the King. The King expressed his joy to his comrade-in-arms who was absent that day: “Brave Crillon, pendés-vous de n’avoir été icy près de moy ...”.
