Read Honour and the Sword Online
Authors: A. L. Berridge
The only one of these notables whom André never met was the kindly Governor of Doullens who returned Jacques’ ring. This would have been the celebrated François de Jussac d’Ambleville, Sieur de Saint-Preuil, who was executed in 1641 for attacking the garrison at Baupaume when nobody told him they had already capitulated. His real crime may have been involvement in the Soissons rebellion, but the injustice of his death provides a timely reminder that the world André was now entering was fraught with more danger than the one he was leaving behind.
