The marshal of Créquy.

Marshal of France in 1622, Créquy took a glorious share with the war against the duke of Savoy: it was him which led the attack of the No Suse.

During the Thirty year old war it was useful in Italy against the Spaniards, and was killed out of a blow of gun in 1658.

Enrôlements volunteers in Paris.

In 1636 France ran a great danger: its territory was invaded in North and the East; enemy runners were announced close to Saint-Denis, but with this news Paris had a splendid dash of patriotism: the old marshal of the Force is established on the perron of the town hall to receive the names of the volunteer: noble and middle-class, rich and poor engaged as a crowd; the enthusiasm of Paris gained the provinces: the army was reinforced with forty thousand men, the enemy stopped and France was saved.

The marshal of the Force.

The duke of the Force had been one of the devoted companions of Henri IV.

Under Louis XIII it revolted to defend Protestantism, and forced Albert de Luynes to raise the head office of Montauban.

Appointed marshal, it was distinguished in the Thirty year old war.

The inhabitants of Saint-Jean-of-Losne swear to defend themselves until death.

Burgundy, invaded by the imperial armies, seemed out of state to resist to them, but a small city, Saint-Jean-of-Losne, proudly refused to capitulate: 150 men of garrison and 400 middle-class men swore to die the sword with the hand rather than to return the city, and they were defended so well, in spite of the weakness of their walls, than it held in failure 30 000 men, pushed back all the attacks, and gave to the French Army time to come to deliver them (November 1636).

The city accepted the nickname of "Beautiful Defense".

Died of the count de Soissons to the combat of Marfée.

The war had been finished soon, if the house of Austria had not had allies among the French themselves.

An enemy of Richelieu, the count de Soissons, revolted, called the Spaniards and the Imperial ones, and the town of Sedan opened to them.

A small French Army advanced to fight them, and was entirely demolished with the wood of Marfée, but the count de Soissons was killed out of a blow of gun during the continuation; its partisans dispersed, and the enemies could not benefit from their victory (July 1641).

Richelieu with the catches, inside, with Calvinistes and the large ones, can initially take only one indirect share with the Thirty year old war, fights keen of the Protestants against the house of Austria; it causes to him by its councils, its diplomacy and its subsidies, of the enemies in the Empire and out of the Empire, of the German princes, the king of Denmark and the king of Sweden Gustave-Adolphe.

But they are overcome the ones after the others, and the Protestants of Germany fall down at the thank you of Austria.

Finally pacified France, Richelieu intervenes directly in the Thirty year old war (1635); France rejoins the overcome Protestants and replaces Denmark and Sweden with the head of the enemies of Austria.

Conquest of Alsace, Artois and Roussillon.

France, which fights Spain at the same time as Austria and catholic Germany, pushes back initially triple invasion, in Picardy, in Burgundy and Languedoc, then it takes the offensive vigorously, conquers Alsace, Austrian province (1639), Artois and Roussillon, provinces Spanish (1640 and 1642).

The Swedes, its allies, gain in Germany victory over victory; Portugal and Catalonia are raised against Spain; the Voter of Brandebourg turns himself against Austria.

With the death of Richelieu (1642), the war is not finished, but the victory is ensured France.
