It was a victory for Henry IV . Background . At the death of Henry III of France , the Huguenot Henry of Navarre became by birthright the successor to the French throne ( as Henry IV ) . Although he quickly declared his intention to " maintain and preserve the Catholic , apostolic and roman religion " of the country ( ) , the major French cities sided with the Catholic League and its leader , the Duke of Mayenne ( younger brother to the deceased Henry I , Duke of Guise ) . At that time , the royal army was in a shambles and Henry IV could only count on barely 20 , 000 men to conquer a rebellious country . In order to accomplish this task , he divided his troops into three commands : Henri I d ' Orléans , Duke of Longueville ( 1568 - 1595 ) for Picardy , Jean VI d ' Aumont for Champagne and Henry IV for Normandy ( where he awaited reinforcements from Elizabeth I of England ) . On 6 August 1589 , Henry set up camp with 8 , 000 men at the port of Dieppe . The Duke of Mayenne sought to take back this key strategic port from Henry ' s forces and to drive him from Normandy . He drew together 35 , 000 troops , plus Cambrésis militias , Lorraine troops led by the Marquis de Pont - à - Mousson and a contingent of Spanish troops to attack the city . Knowing that an attack against an army of this size would be pointless , and that staying in the city of Dieppe would be suicidal , Henry ( after consulting with the Duke of Longueville and the Duke d ' Aumont ) decided to go to the city of Arques ( today called " Arques - la - Bataille " ) and to construct important military defenses ( raising of areas , rebuilding fortifications ) . The battle . Between the 15 September and the 29 September 1589 , the troops of the Catholic League launched several attacks on Arques and the surrounding areas , but the Duke of Mayenne ' s forces were countered by royal artillery . The attacks were extremely deadly for both sides , and soon Henry IV ' s side found itself undermanned . Henry ' s rescue came from the sea on the 23 September : 4 , 000 English soldiers sent by Queen Elizabeth had left England in several waves over three days . Seeing these reinforcements , the Duke of Mayenne decided to retreat , leaving Henry IV victorious . After the battle of Arques , Henri IV snatched a short rest in a neighbouring chateau , and before riding away he scratched with his diamond the following aspiration on one of the windows : " Dieu gard de mal ma mie . Ce 22 de Septembre 1589 . - HENRI

Decem SS . col . 743 ) , openly practised paganism and gave permission to his subjects to worship their idols . When he and his brothers saw Mellitus ( d . 624 ) , bishop of London , giving the eucharist to the people in church , they said to him , so it was commonly believed in the Venerable Bede ' s time , " Why do you not offer us the white bread that you used to give to our father Saba , for so they called him , and which you still give to the people ? " Mellitus answered that if they would be washed in the font they should have it , but that otherwise it would do them no good . But they said that they would not enter the font , for they did not need washing but refreshment . The matter was often explained to them by the bishop , who persisted in refusing their request .
