On 2 April 1562, Condé, commanding a Huguenot army, captured Orléans; with it he issued a draft stating that King Charles IX was being held hostage by the House of Guise. However, Queen-mother Catherine de' Medici proclaimed she and her son were not hostages and that Condé's actions were unlawful and constituted a rebellion. Condé was captured at the battle of Dreux in 1562. At Orléans, the duke of Guise was assassinated, and when the Queen's fears that the war might drag on led her to negotiate a truce, Condé negotiated the Peace of Amboise with the Catholic party in 1563, which gave the Huguenots some religious toleration. In the Battle of Jarnac, Louis I de Bourbon, prince de Condé was killed after his surrender and his body paraded on a donkey in Jarnac, to Catholic jeers.
