Battle of Dormans
The battles of Dormans took place around the village of Dormans, in the Marne, more precisely between Tréloup and Verneuil, the October 10th 1575, during the 5 {{E}} war of religion in France.
The inhabitants of Dormans had destroyed the wood bridge which connected the village to other bank of the Marne before the battle.
She opposed the troops of the first League for the account of Henri III ordered by Henri, 3rd duke of Own way, with a German body of reîtres recruited by in particular English Protestants and Malcontents (duke of Alençon) directed by Thoré, the younger brother of the marshal of Montmorency and Henri count de Damille. Of Own way put in rout the Protestants, capturing Philippe de Mornay among others. Henri de Guise accepted the nickname of “Gash there”, like his father, following a wound by a blow of Arquebuse which it accepted with the right cheek. The consequences of this victory were reduced to nothing with the attack of the son of the Count Palatine who threatened Paris.
