Saint Bartholomew’s Eve

CHAPTER 15: The Battle Of Jarnac
10/33

Several other Huguenot nobles were killed in cold blood, after they had surrendered.
But Conde's magnificent charge had not been without effect, for it enabled the Admiral to draw off from the field, without further loss.

The accounts of the number of killed and wounded differ, but numerically it was very small.

The Huguenot infantry were not engaged at all, with the exception of a small body of the regiment of Plupiart.

But of their cavalry nearly four hundred were killed or taken prisoners, and of these a hundred and forty were nobles and gentlemen, the flower of the Huguenot nobility.

Among the prisoners were La Noue, Soubise, La Loue, and many others of distinction.
Coligny's retreat was not interfered with.
