Summary: "Advis de la deffaicte des Anglois et autres heretiques" by M. Sainct Maixant is a historical account set in the late 16th century, capturing events during the tumultuous period of the French Wars of Religion. This book seems to focus on the military confrontations and political intrigues involving French royal factions and their opposing forces, particularly highlighting the conflict against English and other heretical forces in Brittany. The narrative illustrates the complexity of alliances and the challenges faced by the French leadership at that time. The book recounts a specific military engagement led by M. Sainct Maixant and his troops against the English forces commanded by Lord Howard during the Siege of Rennes. It details the strategic discussions among the French generals regarding whether to engage in battle despite being outnumbered. Ultimately, a decisive confrontation ensues, resulting in significant casualties for both sides but emphasizing the unexpected victory of the French, attributed to divine providence and the fervor of their resolve. The account serves as both a record of military tactics and an exploration of the turbulent loyalties and fervent religious convictions that characterized the period.
