Franco-Fuxéens

 1462. Après avoir maté la révolte de son beau-frère le prince de Viane en 1456, Gaston IV de Foix se trouve en bonne position pour succéder à son beau-père le roi de Navarre, dont il est lieutenant général. Il sert aussi d'intermédiaire dans les négociations entre le nouveau roi de France, Louis XI, et le roi de Navarre. Louis XI veut s'emparer du Roussillon  et doit pour cela s'assurer la neutralité du beau-père de Gaston IV: c'est chose faite grâce aux nouvelles révoltes fomentées contre lui, qui servent de plus de prétexte à une intervention armée. En juillet, l'ost royal s'assemble à Toulouse, fort de 700 gendarmes et 1400 archers des compagnies d'ordonnance et 4000 francs-archers, renforcés par 100 hommes d'armes et 800 arbalétriers menés par Gaston en personne...

  1462. After having defeated the revolt of his brother in law, the prince of Viane, in 1456, Gaston IV of Foix is in good position to succeed to his father in law, the king of Navarre. He also acts as an intermediary in the negociations between the new king of France, Louis XI, and the king of Navarre. Louis XI wants to take the Roussillon th his spanish foreign, the king of Castilla, and so must obtain Navarre's neutrality: it's done  thanks to the new revolts that break out in Navarre, and that act as an excuse for the troopsgathering. In july, the royal ost gathers in Toulouse, strong of 700 ordinance men-at-arms, 1400 ordinance longbowmen and 4000 francs-archers, and joined  by 100 men-at-arms and 800 crossbowmen led by Gaston himself...
