Everything about Siege Of St Dizier 1544 totally explained
The
Siege of St. Dizier took place in the summer of 1544, during the
Italian War of 1542, when the
Imperial army of
Charles V attacked the
French city of
St. Dizier at the beginning of its advance into
Champagne. The siege was already underway when Charles V himself arrived with an army of 14,100 (including 1600
sappers) on 13 July. The next day an imperial commander,
René of Châlon,
Prince of Orange, was struck by a shot from the defenders, and died the next day with the Emperor by his bed (his title and lands going to his famous cousin,
William the Silent). On 23 July French outposts near the besieged town were overrun, but a French army under the command of the
Dauphin Henri maintained an observing position at Jalons. On August 17 the town surrendered. Charles elected not to attack the Dauphin's army and instead pressed on to
Soissons.
