The Battle of Saint-Denis was fought on 10 November 1567 between forces of the crown and Huguenot rebels during the second of the French Wars of Religion. The crown lost their commander, the Constable Anne de Montmorency in the fighting but were left holding the field, thus allowing them to claim victory. The battle represented the only major troop engagement of the second war of religion and was brought about as the crown attempted to break Louis, Prince of Condé's siege of Paris. With the battle won, the Huguenot's scattered towards the border, linking up with their German ally the Count of Palatine before re-entering France and laying siege to Chartres. The war ended shortly thereafter.
