the Battle of Saint Denis he would be responsible for the right flank of Condé's army while Genlis handled the left. Condé's heavy cavalry was torn into by the experienced Swiss troops, but his cavalry had more success against Montmorency's inexperienced Parisian levies, exposing Montmorency's position. Condé would be unhorsed and have to be taken from the field. Montmorency meanwhile was shot by Robert Stuart. The Swiss would win the day for the crown, and while casualties were fairly low for either side, Condé's forces were far smaller to begin with, and he withdrew eastwards towards the border. Chartres The crown followed, hoping the rebel army would disintegrate without the need for another engagement. Condé and Coligny were however able to keep it together, uniting with the mercenaries, and upon their re-entry to France, more troops from the south. Emboldened once more, Condė decided to besiege Chartres, hoping it would be a rich and symbolic prize for his troops. Condé would however, set up the rebel guns poorly, and the siege would drag on. Before it could conclude however, both sides came to truce on 13 March and then formal peace with the Peace of Longjumeau. Short peace Longjumeau Coligny, Andelot and Charles de Téligny were the prime negotiators of Longjumeau for the rebels. They were not however able to achieve much more than Condé had at Amboise years previously despite Coligny's denunciations of that peace. The terms largely repeated those of the prior edict, but it was nominally intended as a permanent peace in contrast to the provisional nature of Amboise's terms. Much of the militant Catholic population reacted with disgust to the peace, with riots in Rouen, Toulouse and Orléans. In the south both sides would flout the peace openly, with the Huguenot populations of Castres and Montpellier refusing entry to their returning royal garrison. Several armies of the crown, including that of Guillaume de Joyeuse and Sommerive maintained presence in the field, capturing towns and besting Huguenot commanders in battle. Frustration Coligny was frustrated at what he felt was the crowns failure to abide by the peace. He wrote to Catherine in June to complain about various outrages and violations. Characterising it as an attack on the monarchy through disregard for its edicts he also mentioned assassination plots against his person. Catherine dismissed these concerns, writing back that he had no reason to be frightened, and encouraging
