Beschreibung
LA NOUE FRANÇOIS DE: (1531-1591) Also known as “Bras-de-fer” (“Iron Arm”). French Huguenot Captain. Best remembered for his exploits, such as the capture of Orléans at the head of only fifteen cavaliers in 1567, or the defeat he inflicted to Royalist troops before Rochefort. La Noue died as a result of a wound he received at the siege of Lamballe in Brittany. Very rare with historical content A.L.S., `La Noue´, one page, folio, Senlis, n.d. [May 1589], to the Duke of Longueville, in old French. Senlis is a small town in the north of France where Monarchs of the early French dynasties lived, attracted by the proximity of the Chantilly forest. An excellent military letter, La Noue reporting to his correspondent and master about the last events occurred, and stating in part `…La ville de Crespy se fust rachetée du sac à six mille escuz…et maintenant, à ce qu´on me dit, la plume volle par les rues… Si nous eussions guère tardé, les ennemys nous eussent réveillez… Et le corps de l´armée ennemye… on croit que la dire armée vient prendre Mouy, Merlon, et de là à Clermont…´ (“`…The town of Crespy was redeemed itself with the bag of six thousand shields…If we had been little late, the enemies would have woken us up…And the body of the enemy army… it is believed that the said army is coming to take Mouy, Merlon, and from there to Clermont…”) La Noue further refers to Spanish troops which would be on the way to support the enemy, saying in part `…Si cela est, il faut que le Roy se soyt amuzé à ataquer Louviers…si l´ennemy a occupé la plaine en premier… il faut penser à choisir un autre lieu meilleur en ces villages ligueurs entre Crespy et Soissons…´ (“If it is so, the King must have had fun attacking Louviers... if the enemy has occupied the plain first...we must think about choosing another better place in the league villages area between Crespy and Soissons...”) A letter of excellent and historical content. With addressee to the verso. Small overall age wear with few water stains, although remaining perfectly legible. Professionally repaired to the verso to the edges. About G The present letter was most probably written during the siege of Senlis, where the troops of the Duque of Longueville, Henri I d´Orleans, together with the troops commanded by François de la Noue defeated the Catholic League of France, supported at that time by the Pope Sixtus V, and by the King of Spain Philip II.Henri I d´Orleans (1568-1595) Duke of Longueville. Governor of Picardie, Soldier and Grand Chamberlain of France 1589-95 under Henry IV. He died at the very early age of 26. His funerary monument is at the Louvre Museum. Henri I of Orleans was the loose inspiration behind the character of Longueville in William Shakespeare´s Love´s Labour´s Lost. In 1570, at the siege of Fontenay, La Noue had his left arm shattered by a bullet and amputated. He ordered a mechanic of La Rochelle to make him an artificial iron arm with a hook allowing him to hold his reins.Charles IX (1550-1574) commissioned La Noue in 1572, after the Saint Bartholomew´s Day Massacre, to reconcile the inhabitants of La Rochelle to the King. The inhabitants of La Rochelle, the great stronghold of the Huguenots, were not in favour and La Noue decided to give up the Royal commission and acted as General of La Rochelle 1574-78.In 1579 La Noue was imprisoned for five years, and during his captivity he wrote his celebrated Discours Politiques et Militaires, published in 1587 in France, same year in English, and few years later published in German. His work had an immense influence on soldiers of all European nations.
