Assedio di Alès

Description

L'assedio di Alès seguì la disastrosa capitolazione del principale bastione protestante di La Rochelle, nell'assedio di La Rochelle. Tuttavia, la resistenza ugonotta persistette nel sud della Francia, e Luigi XIII si sforzò di eliminarla. Con Privas e Anduze, la città di Alès era al centro di una serie di bastioni protestanti nel Languedoc, che si estendevano da Nîmes e Uzes a est, a Castres e Montauban a ovest. Alès fu selezionata da Antoine Hercule de Budos, Marchese des Portes, come obiettivo strategico per interrompere le difese ugonotte in due e disconnettere i loro principali centri di Nîmes e Montauban.
Dopo la caduta di Privas il 28 maggio 1629, in cui il Marchese des Portes fu ucciso, l'attenzione francese si spostò su Alès. Dopo un intenso assedio, la città si arrese il 17 giugno. Alla fine dell'assedio, Enrico, Duca di Rohan, il capo della ribellione ugonotta, si sottomise.
