The Battle of Saint-Quentin of 1557 was a decisive engagement of the Italian War of 1551–1559 between the Kingdom of France and the Spanish Empire, at Saint-Quentin in Picardy. A Habsburg Spanish force under Duke Emmanuel Philibert of Savoy defeated a French army under the command of Louis Gonzaga, Duke of Nevers, and Anne de Montmorency, Duke of Montmorency.

Battle

The battle took place on the Feast Day of St. Lawrence 10 August.Шаблон:Sfn Philibert, with his English allies,Шаблон:EfnШаблон:Efn had placed St. Quentin under siege.

Aftermath

After the victory over the French at St. Quentin, "the sight of the battlefield gave Philip a permanent distaste for war"; he declined to pursue his advantage, withdrawing to the Spanish Netherlands to the north,Шаблон:Sfn where he had been the Governor since 1555. In 1558, the Habsburgs won again at the Battle of Gravelines. The Treaty of Cateau-Cambrésis ended the war in 1559.Шаблон:Sfn

Notable participants

The Frenchman Martin Guerre fought in the Spanish ranks and his leg was amputated.[1] During his long absence, another soldier famously impersonated him in Guerre's village until he returned in 1560. Sir Philip Sidney's uncle was killed here in 1557.

Feast of Saint Lawrence

Being extremely pious, Philip II was aware that 10 August is the Feast of St Lawrence, a Roman deacon who was roasted on a gridiron for his Christian beliefs. Hence, in commemoration of the great victory on St Lawrence’s Day, Philip sent orders to Spain that a great palace in the shape of a gridiron should be built in the Guadarrama Mountains northwest of Madrid. Known as El Escorial, it was finally completed in 1584.[2]

In culture

Шаблон:Lang ("It became the one of St. Quentin") is a Spanish proverbial phrase to describe a big dispute.[3]
