Battle of the French Wars of Religion

The siege of Orléans was the final key military engagement of the first French War of Religion. Having lost the Battle of Dreux the rebel Huguenots fell back with their remaining forces to the city. François, Duke of Guise, the only non-captive royal commander, moved to lay siege to the town, hoping its capitulation would bring about a total victory for the crowns forces.
