Comment

The siege of Mézières took place in 1521, during the Sixth Italian War. The town (now part of Charleville-Mézières) was besieged by an army of the Holy Roman Empire. Mézières was defended by French troops under the command of Pierre Terrail de Bayard and Anne de Montmorency.
The siege was a failure, and the determined resistance of the French gave François I more time to gather his forces against Charles V. https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Si%C3%A8ge_de_M%C3%A9zi%C3%A8res_(1521)
