Bey, FredericVAE VICTUS BOARD GAME #42: Avec Infini Regret IV French Wars of Religion, 1562 - 1598 -- The Battles of Jarnac 1569 and Arques 1569 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, the Protestants retreated in good order. Conde, 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, Conde was unhorsed and immobilized -- he handed his sword to a Catholic gentleman as a sign of surrender. 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.
