Note 1103 — Chapter XI

Zurlauben, Hist. milit. des Suisses, IV, 351; Laugel, “Les régimens suisses au service de France pendant les guerres, de religion,” Revue des deux mondes, November 15, 1880, pp. 332 ff. Pfiffer had served in France during the first civil war and was made a colonel after the battle of Dreux. There is a life of him in German by Segesser, Ludwig Pfyffer und seine Zeit, Bern, 1880. Other versions of this incident are in D’Aubigné, II, 230-32; Claude Haton, I, 428, 429; Castelnau, VI, chap. iv; De Thou, Book XLII; Nég. Tosc., III, 530. La Popelinière, XII, 38, 39, gives a good account of the behavior of the Swiss. The duke of Bouillon, an eye-witness of these incidents, has left a striking account in his Mémoires, ed. Petitot, 75.
