February 1525 CE
Francis, the night following the battle, gives Lannoy a letter to be delivered to his mother in Paris, in which he relates what had befallen him: "To inform you of how the rest of my ill-fortune is proceeding, all is lost to me save honor and life, which is safe."
Soon afterwards, he will finally learn that the Duke of Albany had lost the larger part of his army to attrition and desertion, and had returned to France without ever having reached Naples.
