The <entity_1> took place in <entity_2>, at <entity_3>, between a larger French army commanded by Henry, Dauphin of <entity_4> and the Spanish garrison at <entity_3>. The <entity_6> was one of the costliest defeats of Francis I in the French offensive of <entity_2>. In June, 1541, Francis I of <entity_4>, allied with the <entity_0>, the Ottoman Empire, Denmark, and Sweden, made a show of the power at his disposal, by arriving with five armies. Another, led by Francis's eldest son, Henry, Dauphin of <entity_4>, marched to Roussillon towards the frontiers of <entity_5>. In southern <entity_4>, in Roussillon, the army commanded by Henry, Dauphin of <entity_4>, consisting of 40,000 men, supported by the army of Marshal Claude d'Annebault, laid <entity_6> to <entity_3>, after losing valuable time which was used by the Emperor Charles to strengthen the towns of Salses, Fuenterrabía, and <entity_3>. After many hardships for the French, and without any hope that the Ottoman Empire would help them, the town was eventually relieved by the army of the Duke of Alba, forcing the French commander, the Dauphin of <entity_4>, to lift the <entity_6>, prompting the withdrawal of the French. It is during the <entity_6> of <entity_3> that the French barber surgeon Ambroise Paré, accompanying the French army, had the idea for a new technique. The two monarchs Charles I of <entity_5> and Francis I of <entity_4>, used up the remainder of the year to prepare new campaigns.
