and with a large deep ditch but it being requisite that at the same time when the Suburbs should be assaulted on the other side the besieged should also make a Sally and assault the Suburbs Monsieur de Rochecheviera was sent into the Town to make agreements with those Commanders and ordering the assault in three parts that of the middle was given in charge to Plessis Belliere with the French guards and 150 forlorn Foot led on by Captain Chassonville that on the right hand was led on by Monsieur Folleville with the Switzers Guard back'd by the Queens Gens de Armes and Cavalry that on the left hand was given to Monsieur Haudecourt with Harcourts Recruit back'd by the King's Cavalliers and by the Duke of Rhohans Gens de Armes The rest of the Horse were placed in a convenient place to back those that were to give the assault affairs being thus ordered Harcourt summon'd the Suburbs who answered with the mouth of their Musquets and Monsieur de St. Aubine a Domestick of the Prince who commanded there said that was all the composition which they would give So as the French guards advancing under Monsieur Chassonville they made themselves masters of the first Barricado as did all the rest with miraculous courage on their parts Monsieur Heudicourt was wounded on the thigh by a Musquet Vmont Captain of the Switzers guard Cavalliere Bagnol Beauvoire Captain of Harcourt's Regiment and Monsieur Godiniere were also wounded At the same time Monsieur Bellafons came out with the Gentry which were in the Town and assaulted the same Suburbs on another part which opens upon the Bridge whereby he kept the Enemy from saving themselves by the River so as after a stout defence the Suburbs was storm'd and all that were in it either slain or taken Prisoners amongst which Monsieur de St. Aubine Noier and many other Commanders were taken and four Captains eight Lieutenants and about 300 Soldiers were slain and the Town was opportunely relieved to Harcourts great glory for it was done in sight of the Enemies Army and of Conde's self who was ready to go wild seeing his men routed and had he not been hindred by his men he would have put himself into a small Boat and have indangered himself to relieve his party The business of Cognack being thus vanished whereupon the Prince did build very much they who had conceived great hopes were much dejected and the Prince his business grew daily worse he retreated with his Forces in such confusion as they left behind them twelve Cart load of Ammunition as also Prince Taranto's baggage and in passing over a little River the Prince his Van taking their own Reer for Harcourts Forces was so terrified as seeking to save themselves many of them were drowned But because the getting of the three Towers upon the Gate which were fortified made much for the peaceful possession of Rochel Estisack having received Artillery and some recruit of Soldiers presented himself before that of la Catena and Lanthorn the Soldiers when they saw the Canon ready to thunder upon them surrendred upon conditions But the third which was greater and much stronger called St. Nicola gave more trouble to the Kings men there being above 130 Soldiers in it with several valiant Commanders so as Harcourt came before it himself in person with more strength and assaulted the said Tower the Governour resolved to parly but Harcourt answering that he could not treat with a Rebel and telling the Soldiers that they should have no quarter unless they would kill their Governour and throw him out of the Window into the Ditch they were so terrified as they slew their Commander and surrendered on the 27 th of November and Rochel together with the Country of Aunis remain'd well Garrison'd under the Government of Estisack The zeal which not only the Catholick Officers shewed upon this occasion to the Kings service is remarkable but even the Hugonots who shewed excessive hatred against Ognone The Island of Rhe submitted likewise to the King After these prosperous successes Count Harcourt went from Rochel to a Village three leagues off the weather being so bad as would not suffer his Foot to come further than Surgeres where hearing that Cavalliere Crequi was come to Parancy which was within two leagues with the Flanders Forces and that the Prince had caused his whole Army to come on this side the River over the Bridge of Tonney Charente he thought to make use of the occasion which was fortunately offerd him by this recruit He therefore sent away orders to the said Crequi to muster all his men in Parancy whither he himself went the last of that month intending to surprise the Prince by a secret and sudden march to which purpose causing all his Forces to pass over a certain Ford by which he was to go he put himself in Battle array before Tonney Buttonne a little walled Town where there is a great Tower wherein the Prince had placed some Musquetiers to make good that station where leaving some few Soldiers to take it he presently advanced his guards under Plessis Pralin and gave him order to charge some Squadrons of the Enemy which appeared on the top of the hills near Moragne behind the which he thought the Enemies whole Army had been and so to give them battle but they by the advantage of the night were not seen so they came not to blowes till the next morning when the Kings men being come within sight of the Enemy Crequi on the right hand Bellafons on the left and the Voluntiers in the midst inheartned by Harcourt who followed them with the body of the Army they charged the Enemies Squadrons so bravely as though they resisted stoutly yet they were pierced through and through and pursued to a breast-work where the Prince stood with other twelve Squadrons and could not keep his men from being slain and taken Plessis Belliere and the other Officers who were on the head of the Anjou's Regiment seeing there was no means to pass the breast-work which Conde defended with a considerable body of men and discovering that there was a quarter on the left hand from whence some Troops pretended to go and joyn with the grosse body they charged them so hotly as many were slain upon the place others saved themselves in the washes and the rest got to a strong house where they rendred upon discretion to the Anjou's Regiment Harcourt with some others advancing at the same time to cut off the way from the Princes men met with another breast-work which hindred him and the night coming on parted the two Armies The Kings men were incamped half a league from the Enemy who return'd to Tonney Charente and past by right over the River having lost 3 or 4 hundred Gentlemen together with divers Officers and their baggage Harcourt went afterwards to Tonney Charente having re-made the Bridge which the Prince had broken Thus the two Armies stood facing one another

left hand Squadrons he himself being with his Sword in hand on their head fought egregiously and charged the Kings Horse home amongst whom Count Plessis the Marishals Son and many other Gentlemen of note were at the very first onset slain and the rest routed but with so much loss to Turenn's men who though victorious were so much lessened and so confused as they might almost be said to be routed as well as the others In this dangerous emergency the Marishal General gave singular proofs of his experience and valour for incouraging those that gave back with his own presence and rallying those that were routed and fled he ordered his Adjutant Monsieur Lomenet to make the Horse advance who were upon the Foot 's Flank and who not having yet fought were fresh and intire with these he himself and Monsieur Manicamp fomented by Prince Thomaso's Gensd ' Arms which were led on by Cavaliere Vssinga gave furiously on upon the first line of the Lorain Horse which were disposed of in seven Squadrons and finding them already in disorder and wearied with having fought till then against three great French Squadrons he burst in amongst them in relief of whom came Count Bossu who with two Squadrons fell upon the French Foot who wanted Horse to back them for Monsieur d' Inville after having charged with the reserve was faln back Here the fight began hotter than before the Pikes opposing the fury of the Horse with much undauntedness and signal example at last Monsieur de Villaquier came in with the fresh and intire Battles of the second line and Turenne having but two Battles of the second line to oppose them one of them which was led on by a Dutch Commander who was there slain was routed The other being commanded by the Serjeant Major made forward and routed two of the Kings Battels and here the whole second line of the Lorrainers mixt with the first so as when the 2 d. line of the French Army which was wholy composed of Veteran Germans came up in good order it found them in great confusion Turenne who would have brought up the ranks of the first line to charge and then have faln back into the second had his Horse wounded under him so as he could move but slowly Count Duras Baron Bonteville and Messieurs de Beauneau and Montilieu having routed those that withstood them marcht up with the remainder of their Troops to the Cannons mouth and broke some Squadrons of the 2 d. French line But this mean while whilst Monsieur Lanau who commanded the five Dutch Regiments in Turenne's right wing had his Horse slain under him and was himself taken Prisoner in the first charge wherein he had some advantage all his men were put to flight which caused the Kings men of the left wing to return to the right wing where charging the second fresh line of the Lorrainers they routted them utterly so the field was won wherein Count Lignaville was taken Prisoner and Mounsieur Fouges who had received two wounds and Edward Prince Palatine together with two other German Colonels were slain General Turenne as he past between the Lorrain Squadrons and his own Troops finding himself alone for all his Gentlemen were mingled with the Enemy and his Horse being again twice wounded was invironed by some of the Kings men who asked him if he would have quarter when Monsieur de Berge Captain of his Guard coming in they defended themselves with unparalled courage and throwing two of the Enemies to the ground they luckily got free from the rest crying out that they were the Kings Officers and that those Dutch men would have kil'd them Thus they escaped out of the Field and Turenne met with Monsieur de Vaue Serjeant Major of Beauveau's Regiment who lent him a Horse wherewith he saved himself so as finding both the wings of his Army utterly routed the Foot presently threw down their Arms and ran all save Turenne's Brigado who refusing quarter fell in with unheard of boldness into the midst of the Kings Squadrons where they were all either slain or taken after an hours fierce conflict Here was Haucourt taken Prisoner who commanded two small bodies of Horse and Don Stephano de Gammara General of the Spanish Artillery Count St. Quinten and Colonel Capion and divers other Officers and Soldiers were slain Thus the Kings men won the day were masters of the Field took 24. Ensigns all the Drums and about 3500. Prisoners and about 1800. were slain General Turenne the Counts Bossu and Reens and some more Horse retreated towards Barledue and from thence to Stenay the rest who escaped the Victors fury dispersed themselves several ways Of the Kings Army there died upon the Field beside Count Plessis Son to the General Aluimare Vale and Carualle all of them Field Marishals Serjeant General Rosa Colonel Beus and the Vicount de L' Hospitale besides many that were wounded about 480. Soldiers and Officers of lesser account After this Victory the Garrison of 300. which was in Chasteau Porcien yielded upon discretion to Camp Master Bougy who during the Battel was besieging it with 1500 men and all the other Garrisons under Turenne in the Towns beyond the River Aisne did also surrender This Victory was accompanied by the taking of Barleduck which the Lorrainers held Viscerge which was stoutly defended by Maileferd a French Colonel the Town and Castle of Miracourt which yielded upon discretion to Marishal Ferte Senetre who was he that took all these Towns as also the Castle Gardia with the Garrisons of Vic and Mongenuick But the season being unfit for further proceedings and rest being rather to be thought upon for the Soldiers than new enterprises they were put into their Winter quarters the Cardinal being thus Victorious no less by this fortunate success then by having secured the Princes this year in the Kings name taken the Towns from them which they possest succord La Guise recovered the Castle of Dijon Belgarde Danuilliers Cleremont St. Iohn di L' Ansne Verdun Caen Diepe secured Haure de Grace and Roan ended the commotions in Guienne reduced Burdeaux and driven the Spaniards from Rethel it is impossible to relate what confusion they were in who murmured against his Government of affairs and who were jealous of his actions His Friends who according to the fashion of the Court do flatter Fortune more than persons solicited him by their Letters to come receive Triumph in Paris telling him that these happy successes had stopt all mens mouths wherefore he returned to Paris on the last of December which occasioned the bad accident which followed as you shall hear which he had shun'd had he tarried but one month longer in the Army out of Paris The Coadjutor after the Battle at Rethel being desired by his especial friend Monsieur di Militiere to mind his studies and not to meddle any more in factions and in the intrigues of the Court where the Cardinal grew

rather for that he found part of the same Suburbs already fortified by Baracadoes made formerly by the inhabitants for fear of the Lorrainers The Kings Camp and all the Court was already on Horsback being resolved either to conquer that day or to end the War not only in respect of the superiority of their men but by reason of the long way the Prince was to go with his Baggage The Cardinal was so confident of this as having given fitting orders to Turenne he brought the King to the top of Sarone that he might be an eye witness of so famous an action and being upon the point of having the Prince either dead or alive he sent to his friends in Paris wishing them to be of good courage and that they should by all means take care that the Gates might not be opened for the Enemy to retreat nor for succor to be sent them from the City The Kings Army being come to Vilette within half a league of Paris and knowing that the Army of the Princes was gone from whence if they could have light upon them they would undoubtedly have routed them Marishal Turenne going on the left hand past by the Hills of Sarone and came into the Plain the Fauxburg S. Antoyne and Charenton drawing all his Troops out in order whilest the rest stayed on the right hand with Marishal Ferte Senetre And though the Prince being got to underneath the Walls of Paris had the advantage of place yet the Kings men knowing that he could not withstand them and the Court being assured that the Princes their Forces should not be received back into Paris they having been kept out the night before they resolved to advance boldly and to fall upon some Squadrons which were advanced into the Suburbs and who were pursued even into the Houses Here the Prince who with unparalleld valor bore the whole weight of that important fight made use of his wit where his Forces failed and gallopping on all sides divided all his Men in form following His Highness Brigade was placed on the left hand of the Suburbs those of Languedock Vallois and Ligueron on the right Conde and Burgondes Brigades on the right hand that of Languedock and that of Pelleins at the Baracado in the way which leads to the Castle of Vincennes And wanting Foot to furnish all the stations he ordered some of the Cavalry to back the Foot The Artillery was placed at the Heads of the Streets of the Suburbs and all the Avenues were Trenched and Baracadoed General Turenne having drawn out his Majesties Army in good order designed the French Guards to Assault his Highness and Languedock and the Brigades of Picardy and Marine to Assault the Vallois Two Batteries were placed against the Baracado which was Guarded by Tavannes One plaid upon the High-street of the Suburbs and the other on the Street which answers to the great Market Things being thus ordered whilest the Prince was ordering his men how to defend themselves the Kings men came on furiously charging the Ene●● in two places and were valiantly withstood and for a while repuls●●● But the Brigades of Languedock Vallois and Langueron not being able to resist longer leaned with some loss towards the Market-place to whose relief the Prince himself came in the Head of his Horse Regiment and of that of Anguie● accompanied by Nemeurs Taranth and Vallon And here the fight grew hot the Prince gave high proofs of his skill in War and of his incomparable courage he thrust himself is he had been a Common-Soldier into the midst of the Enemy killed many with his own hands and with his Sword repulsed many To his eternal glory those who were formerly affrighted were incouraged and those Brigades replaced in their former stations who were driven away Marine having lost together with some that were wounded forty men here was Monsieur Goville slain but Tavannes and Languis did not play their parts so well For here Marquess S. Magrin gave on furiously on the Head of some Voluntiers and others upon the Princes Forces which he did much indamage and was likely to have utterly routed them had not the death of the s●id St. Magrine cooled the courage of his men he being slain the Kings Forces were repulsed but not without much blood of the Princes men who received here their greatest loss Marquess Rochecaufolt and Count Bossue a Dutch Colonel of Horse were there slain and Count Tavanes the Marquess of Ierse Cavaliere la Force Marquess Cogna Count Melune Baron Lorese with others of good quality were there slain In this interim the Count Navailes had taken the Street Rambulliet with some houses and two Barracadoes though they were vigorously defended by the adversary to whose succour came Monsieur de Laudes with a Dutch Brigade the Prince of Conde made good the Street which leads from the Gate to a large Piazza where the Kings men had seized upon some houses the Dukes of Nemeurs and Beaufort came just then to the Prince and these two who were not upon very good terms resolved to attack the Barracado which was taken by Navailes rather out of Emulation than Military wisdom though it were hard to take it which was well sheltered with weary and worsted men Yet Conde who though he foresaw the mischief did never forbear any hazardous bickering was perswaded by reason that though things should not sort according to his desire he should by so generous an action afford the Enemy matter to think upon and spin on the business which made most for his safety so as Rochefaucolt Marsilliack Flammarin and many others of the Nobles coming in unto him Rochefaucolt who saw Beaufort and Nemeurs forwardness joyn'd with them and fell to the assault but the Soldiers being weary and timorous to attack the Barracado marched along the Wall to shelter themselves from the Enemies shot and would advance no further this mean while a Squadron of German Horse being got into the Gardens where they were much incommodated by shot from the neighbouring houses retreated in disorder the Prince taking them to be the Enemy who were come to take that place and to charge him on the Flank and his Genreals finding that their Foot fell not upon the Barracado advanced to charge the same Squadron but finding them to be their own men they forbare any further attempt they and those Horse being exposed to a shower of shot which came from the houses and Barracado and here were Flemmerin Count Castres Monsieur Forneau and others of quality slain Which when the Generals saw they thought of themselves to assault that Barracado and though they went to ingage themselves in an eminent danger of desperate event yet excited by heat of blood and glory they considered nothing but their own boldness Thus did the Three Dukes and Prince Marsilliack themselves alone unassisted by the Foot which staid behind light from Horse-back and with their Swords in hand advanced against the

and do nothing whilst the Line was fought for that all lives should be saved that Tallon la Coste Ballet and Marselly who were come thither from Dunkirk to serve the Prince should injoy the same articles but as for the Officers and their places they should be at the King's disposal to whom Count Paluau would write in their behalf that those that came out should be convoy'd to the Princes Camp near Paris and that Pasports should be given to those that would return to their own homes That an Inventory should be made of all the Prince his goods part whereof should be safely convey'd to Chasteaureux and delivered to the Governour thereof and that the rest which could not be convey'd should remain in the hands of the Prince his Agent who was to have leave to tarry there and have a care of them that Monsieur Hautaeville should keep in his place of Farmer as all the rest of Conde's Farmers in Berry The Prince hearing in what danger this important place was sent Count Briole from his Camp on the 19 th of August with 500 choice Horse ordering him to pass over the Loire suddenly in Boats over against Sully and to joyn with the Marquess Levy and Count Colligny in Berry with 300 Horse Briole past over the Loire but not finding his friends so provided as he was made to be believe and the line not to be mastered he retreated speedily to Paris for Count Maipas marching towards him with 800 of Turenne's Horse traced him but Briole got safe to the Prince his Camp and Montrond according to articles remain'd in the King's hands The Kings affairs beginning to better and all wise men knowing that affairs would at last prove favourable to the King the Lord Chancellor being sent for by his Majesty went to Court who by leave from the King had staid in Paris as a private Gentleman but the Princes desiring to Authorise and give Reputation to the new Council Orleans sent to him to come and assist therein as had been intimated to him by Parliament threatning that in case of refusal he should be forced to come upon worser terms the Chancellor being thus necessitated to come to that Council did undauntedly and with such wariness behave himself as not at all wavering from the King's service but moderating those who were swai'd by passion and interest did by his wisdom much advantage the Court-affairs but though it was known he did the King good service there yet it was not thought fit that the unlawful Authority usurped by Male-contents should be authenticated by one that was honoured with so conspicuous a charge he was therefore sent for back by a Capuchine Fryar whom he presently obeyed going out of Paris in a Priests habit and came to their Majesties the Third of September at Campaign where he was very much welcomed but the seals remained with the first President A novelty worth the relating happened in Brisack for the better knowledg whereof we must take the business a little higher and search the beginning In the beginning of the year 1650 did Monsieur Eclack Governour of Brisack dye a man of great fidelity and honour Monsieur Charlevois who commanded a Regiment of Ten Companies there and was the Kings Lieutenant sent the Major of his Regiment to acquaint the Court with it and assured their Majesties that no novelty should succede in the Fort till they should send another Governour which he did believing that the Court would send none But about the end of next February the King chose Monsieur Tiliadet Camp-master and Governour of Beaupames to be Governour of Brisack which when Charlevois heard who hoped to have been chief Commander there himself he treated with Colonel Eclack Nephew to the dead Governour who Commanded a Brigade of Germans in that Town by which treaty they bound themselves to joyn together and not to admit of any Governour They forthwith sent Monsieur de Blois le Shelle one of Charlevois Captains and Cousins to tell Tillier the Secretary of State and Tilliadet that he should not be received into that Government the Cardinal who about the same time was with the Court in Burgundy hearing this sent Messieurs Bausant Fruart and Millet to Brisack to wish Charlevois to obey the King and to receive Tilliadet and writ to the Marishalless Guebrian who had great power with Charlevois to will him to obey Charlevois listned to these Gentlemen and to the Marishals Wife and resolved to receive the said Governour upon promise that he would not innovate any thing in the Garrison and that he would keep his Brigade in the same condition it was in which was granted him by Letter from the King Colonel Eclack finding that Charlevois had confer'd with the said Gentlemen contrary to agreement was displeased Charlevois that he might be of greater power in that Fort perswaded Eclack to go to the Switzers for which he had a Thousand pound sterling paid him Soon after Tilliadet went from Paris and came to Brisack in May Charlevois received him with all the Regalities due to a Governour they lived Four or Five Moneths very well together At last Tiliadet proposing to reduce Charlevoi's Brigade from Ten to Five Companies intending to put the other Five into his own Brigade and so to be stronger than he Charlevois laughed at the proposal and shewed the King's promise that no innovation should be made but Tilliadet persisting in his design Charlevois acquainted his friends at Court wishing them to acquaint the Cardinal therewith Charlevois who thought the Cardinals pleasure had been not to innovate any thing though the truth is he intended to reduce them from a Thousand to 750 Foot and to add the overplus to Tilliadet's Brigade so to keep them equal took courage and declared he would not yield to the Governours desire whilst things went thus the Cardinal withdrew from Court wherefore Charlevois suspecting that Tilliadet might conspire his ruine by making him be detain'd by the first Troops that should come into Alsatia resolved to secure himself from surprize and acquainted his friends with it who were at Court desiring them to preserve his concernments with the Queen assuring her of his fidelity and desiring her to withdraw Tilliadet Her Majesty finding that Charlevois his Authority in Brisack was greater than Tiliadets resolved to remove the Governour as she did to Besanzon in Burgundy but Charlevois knowing that some Officers of his Brigade adhered to Tilliadets interest put them out of the Fort together with some of Tilliadets particular friends and kindred amongst which his Nephew the Baron of Serigliack Wherefore the Queen knowing that Charlevois was a Creature of Marishal Guebrians Wife wished her to admonish him of the respect and loyalty Loyalty he ought unto the King which she did sending Monsieur Rotra to him to acquaint him with their Majesties minds Charlevois seeming to correspond to the good opinion which was had of him writ to the Queen that he would
