When See also:peace was made in See also:France in the same See also:year, La Noue carried his See also:sword against the Spaniards in the See also:Netherlands, but was taken at the recapture of See also:Mons by the See also:Spanish in 1572

Permitted to return to France, he was commissioned by See also:Charles IX., after the See also:massacre of St See also:Bartholomew, to reconcile the inhabitants of La Rochelle, the great stronghold of the See also:Huguenots, to the See also:- KING

But the Rochellois were too much alarmed to come to terms; and La Noue, perceiving that war was imminent, and knowing that his See also:post was on the Huguenot See also:side, gave up his royal See also:commission, and from 1574 till 1578 acted as See also:general of La Rochelle
.
When peace was again concluded La Noue once more went to aid the Protestants of the See also:Low Countries
.
He took several towns and captured See also:Count See also:Egmont in 1580; but a few See also:weeks afterwards he See also:fell into the hands of the Spaniards

Thrust into a loathsome See also:prison at Lim-See also:burg, La Noue, the admiration of all, of whatever faith, for his gallantry, See also:honour and purity of See also:character, was kept confined for five years by a powerful nation, whose reluctance to set him
See also:free is one of the sincerest tributes to his reputation
.
It was in captivity that he wrote his celebrated Discours politiques et militai.res, a See also:work which was published at See also:Basel in 1587 [re-published at La Rochelle 1590, Frankfurt on See also:Main (in See also:German) 1592 and 1612; and See also:London (in See also:English) 1597] and had an immense See also:influence on the soldiers of all nations
.
The abiding value of La Noue's " Discourses " lies in the fact that he wrote of war as a human See also:drama, before it had been elaborated and codified
.
At length, in See also:June 1585, La Noue was exchanged for Egmont and other prisoners of See also:consideration, while a heavy See also:ransom and a See also:pledge not to See also:bear arms against his See also:Catholic See also:majesty were also exacted from him
