↑  Oman, Art of War, 229. D'Avalos had captured Mondovì only a short time before.
↑  Oman, Art of War, 229. Oman, citing Du Bellay, describes the new fortifications as "five زاوية محصنة, good curtains between them, and a deep ditch".
↑  Oman, Art of War, 230. The Swiss, while trained as حاملو الرماح, had been raised by the Count of Gruyères from his own lands, rather than being traditional levies of the كانتونات سويسرا; Oman cites Giovio's description of the men having been "raised from all regions of the Upper نهر الرون and the بحيرة ليمان".
↑  Knecht, Renaissance Warrior, 490; Oman, Art of War, 230. Oman notes that the garrison of Carignano included some of d'Avalos's best troops.
↑  Knecht, Renaissance Warrior, 490; Oman, Art of War, 230. Oman notes that Du Bellay, seemingly having some dislike for Montluc, avoids identifying the messenger in his chronicle, describing him as "un gentilhomme" without giving his name.
↑  Knecht, Renaissance Warrior, 490; Oman, Art of War, 230–231. The major source for Montluc's speech before Francis, and the ensuing debate, is Montluc's own autobiography; Oman writes that "his narrative cannot always be trusted, since he sees himself in the limelight at every crisis", but also notes that "it seems hardly credible that Montluc could have invented his whole graphic tale of the dispute at the council board, and his own impassioned plea for action". The requirement for Enghien's subordinates to agree to a battle is recorded by Du Bellay; Montluc does not mention it.
↑  Knecht, Renaissance Warrior, 490; Oman, Art of War, 231. A full list of names is given by Du Bellay and includes Dampierre, St. André, Vendôme, Rochefort, and Jarnac.
↑  Oman, Art of War, 231. The landsknechts in question were veteran troops, and had been specially equipped with مخصر خفيف.
↑  Hall, Weapons and Warfare, 186; Oman, Art of War, 231. Hall gives lower numbers than Oman, noting that they are estimates by Ferdinand Lot, and is the source for the specific proportion of arquebusiers in the Imperial army.
↑  Oman, Art of War, 231. Oman writes that d'Avalos related this view to Des Thermes, who had been captured by the Imperial troops, telling him that "after معركة بافيا 1525 the Spanish officers had come to think little of the French gendarmerie, and believed that arquebusiers would always get the better of them, if properly covered".
↑  Oman, Art of War, 231–232, 234. The blocking force probably consisted of the companies of French infantry that had arrived as reinforcements during the winter.
↑  Oman, Art of War, 232. The other route available to d'Avalos was a sweep south through Sommariva and راكونيجي that would have exposed his flank to Enghien.
↑  Oman, Art of War, 232.
↑  Hall, Weapons and Warfare, 186. Hall notes that Montluc, by his own account, told Enghien, "Sir sir, what more could you have desired of God Almighty [than] to find the enemy... in the open field, [with] neither hedge nor ditch to obstruct you?"
↑  Hall, Weapons and Warfare, 186; Oman, Art of War, 232–234. Oman notes that there are a variety of figures available for the strength of the French army; he gives "figures somewhat lower than Montluc's... and somewhat higher than Du Bellay's...". Hall gives the lower number for the infantry but the higher number for the heavy cavalry, in both cases from Lot, and notes that only around 500 of the heavy cavalry were actually gendarmes.
↑  Oman, Art of War, 232. Francis had sent some forty thousand écus, which was less than a month's worth of back pay.
↑  Hall, Weapons and Warfare, 186; Oman, Art of War, 234. Hall explicitly attributes much of the uncoordinated action during the battle to the poor visibility along the line. Black also mentions the topography as a source of confusion (Black, "Dynasty Forged by Fire,"43).
↑  Oman, Art of War, 234. Oman suggests that this division seems to have been a theoretical one here.
↑  Oman, Art of War, 234. Oman notes that the full strength of the three companies should have been 650 troopers, rather than the smaller number actually present.
1 2  Oman, Art of War, 234. The squadron under Boutières was also under-strength; it should have included a hundred troopers.
↑  Oman, Art of War, 232–235. Descroz was given the command because the Count of Gruyères had not yet arrived.
↑  Oman, Art of War, 234. St. Julian commanded six of the companies, and William Frülich the other seven.
