It's 1562. After the Massacre at Vassy, war seems inevitable. Mobilization of the army is slow, as the French have to wait for the Swiss mercenaries, Landsknechts and Reiter cavalry to arrive. The Royalists finally begin their assault in July, quickly surrounding Orleans and capturing Rouen. By December they have the upper hand, until the Prince of Conde sallies out to attack Paris. The Duke of Guise and Montmorency rally their soldiers and later defeat the Protestants at the Battle of Dreux. But when the Catholics have almost won, Catherine of Medici ends the First French War of Religion with the Edict of Amboise.
