Two Imperial armies are massed to invade France by May 1544: one, under Ferrante Gonzaga—former condotiorro and, from 1535, Viceroy of Sicily—north of Luxembourg; the other, under Charles himself, in the Palatinate.
Gonzaga captures Luxembourg on May 25.
Moving towards Commercy and Ligny, he issues a proclamation that the Emperor has come to overthrow "a tyrant allied to the Turks.”
