Archambault to St. Sulpice, L’Ambassade de St. Sulpice, 71; Charles IX to St. Sulpice, September 15, ibid., 74. The camps on the Loire were broken up on September 14, only sufficient forces being left to invest Orleans. The soldiers were sent to Normandy via Montargis, Angerville-la-Rivière, and Etampes, leaving posts at Gien, Beaugency, and Pithiviers to keep the lines open between north and south and to prevent D’Andelot from getting to Orleans.
