On that day a procession moved out of the citadel gates.  Balagny, with a son of eleven years of age, the Prince of Rhetelois, the Commander De Vich; and many other distinguished personages, all magnificently attired, came forth at the head of what remained of the garrison.  The soldiers, numbering thirteen hundred foot and two hundred and forty horse, marched with colours flying, drums beating, bullet in mouth, and all the other recognised palliatives of military disaster.  Last of all came a hearse, bearing the coffin of the Princess of Cambray.  Fuentes saluted the living leaders of the procession, and the dead heroine; with stately courtesy, and ordered an escort as far as Peronne.

Balagny met with a cool reception from Henry at St. Quintin, but subsequently made his peace, and espoused the sister of the king’s mistress, Gabrielle d’Estrees.  The body of Gavre d’Inchy, which had been buried for years, was dug up and thrown into a gutter.
