EDITED: France 1450 - 1600

EDITED!

The original presentation is a powerpoint, so the words and graphics are slightly messed up because of the conversion to a video (a PPT cannot be uploader to Blogger). It can be best read in the small version without making it full screen.

French Battles Page:

Royal forces started to surround La Rochelle, with an army of 7,000 soldiers, 600 horses and 24 cannons, led by Charles of Angouleme. They started to reinforce fortifications at Bongraine (modern Les Minimes), and at the Fort Louis. On September 10, the first cannons shots were by La Rochelle against Royal troops at Fort Louis, starting the third Huguenot rebellion. La Rochelle was the greatest stronghold among the Huguenot cities of France, and the centre of Huguenot resistance.
