Battle of Saint-Denis (1567)
The Battle of Saint-Denis was fought on 10 November 1567 between Catholics and Protestants during the French Wars of Religion in Saint-Denis near Paris, France.
Anne de Montmorency with 16,000 Royalists fell on Condé's 3,500 Huguenots.[1] The Huguenots surprisingly held on for some hours before being driven off.[1]
The Protestants were defeated, but the Catholic commander Anne de Montmorency was mortally wounded.[1] The Protestants fell back to the east to link up with German mercenaries.[2]
