Montmorency leads his large fleet out of…

September 1625 CE

Montmorency leads his large fleet out of Les Sables d'Olonne in September 1625 and defeats the fleet of La Rochelle, commanded by Jean Guiton and Soubise, in front of Saint-Martin-de-Ré on September 18.

Two elite regiments of royal troops under Toiras are landed on the island, defeating Soubise with his three thousand men.

The island of Ré is invested, forcing Soubise to flee to England with his few remaining ships.

Montmorency thus manages to recover both Ile de Ré and Ile d'Oléron, but the jealousy of Richelieu deprives him of the means of following up these advantages.
