Chapter one: The story of a Chief Judge
The story of Chief judge Foix
Commander in charge of French forces in the south, Chief Judge Foix reported in early in 1492. He took his duties seriously and the movements in the south were quite disturbing. The Spaniards had moved quickly destroying the buffer Navarre. In preparation for anything the king had entered an alliance with the Swiss, using the Swiss troops it was decided would give us an edge in combat.
From the base in Languegedoc Foix observed the enemy movements warily. In caution he called up some new troops, the Spaniards saw this as a threat and declared war in the first month of 1493. Naples and Milan joined the war with Spain while the Pope, the Swiss, and Savoy join us.
The mission was clear, the Spaniards would loose the war and be humiliated, or France would be destroyed trying to make them. In April the first Spanish forces were repelled for trying to cross the border, and La Palice brining the Northern army for a two prong assault throws them out of Bearn. But intelligence reports were coming in that caused the entire army alarm. El Gran Capitan, the greatest Spanish leader was coming north to meet the invaders, which army he was attacking however remained unknown.
Finally we had solid facts, he was meeting Foix’s army, La Palice was redirected to reinforce and so was the new body of men that started the whole conflict. As August came the two armies met at Rousilion, the armies were not coordinated and La Palice’s troops arrived late, Capitan repelled all three armies one after the other. Inidgnant Foix combined the remains of the army into the Grande Armee.
Regardless of his personal disdain, Foix didn’t send one man to impose on El Capitan’s march, it was obvious by now that the Spaniards were heading East, they were going to isolate France and then destroy her, and they were sending their best man to do it.
He marched into Rousillon determined to make the Spaniards regret their underestimation of France. Alas, the great general died while assaulting Rousillon.
