Battle of La Marfée
The Count of Soissons died at the end of the action in strange circumstances. He was either murdered by an assassin hired by Richelieu or killed himself accidentally when he raised the visor of his helmet with the barrel of his pistol. Had he been alive, the French defeat at La Marfée may have had catastrophic consequences for France, but without Soisson's leadership his supporters quickly abandoned his cause, and the possibility of Richelieu's fall disappeared. In June 1642 the revolt had been completely crushed. Bouillon only saved his life by converting from Calvinism to Catholicism and surrendering his duchy to France. Other plotters, such as the Marquis of Cinq-Mars, were executed, while others, like Gaston of Orléans, brother to the King, went into exile
