Years: 1575 - 1575
Condé, whose forced conversion, together with that of his cousin, Henri of Navarre, had saved him from death in the Massacre, has spent the past few years raising money, troops, and support from the German princes, particularly Jan Casimir, the son of Friedrich III of the Palatine.
A relative of the Coligny brothers, Henri de Montmorency, Sieur de Damville, governs the heavily Protestant Languedoc region as an "uncrowned king of the south," and, though himself Roman Catholic, brings another substantial army to the Protestant side.
