JACQUES TORTOREL, JEAN JACQUES PERRISSIN. Fourth charge at the Battle of Dreux, French Religious Wars, 19 December 1562 (1570). Artist: Jacques Tortorel

JACQUES TORTOREL and JEAN JACQUES PERRISSIN. Fourth charge at the Battle of Dreux, French Religious Wars, 19 December 1562 (1570). The outcome of the battle was indecisive, although notable for the fact that the commanders of both sides, Anne de Montmorency (1493-1567), Constable of France and leader of the Catholic forces and the Huguenot Louis, Prince de Conde (1530-1569) were both taken prisoner. Both sides suffered very heavy casualties, including the Catholic Jacques d'Albon, Marshal Saint-Andre, who was murdered after falling into Huguenot hands. The French Religious Wars between the Catholics and the Protestant Huguenots took place between 1562 and 1598. The conflict ended when Henry IV issued the Edict of Nantes, granting Protestants and Catholics equal rights.
