Note 1411 — Chapter XIV

So great was the desolation inflicted that the King was obliged to remit the taille in Agenois (Arch. municip. d’Agen reg. consul., fol. 262). The Protestants were so encouraged that even those living in Agen, Montluc’s own town, dared to revolt (Bull. du Com. de la langue et de l’hist. de France, I, 478; Reg. munic. d’Agen, fol. 254). An interesting comparison might be made between the rules for the government of the camp issued by Coligny at this time—they are in K. 1,575, No. 7—and those issued by the prince of Condé at Orleans, in April, 1562. For an example of the severe discipline in the Protestant army see Claude Haton, II, 568; cf. De Thou, Book XXX.
