According to Elster's data Imperial army under FM Ottavio Piccolomini-Pieri in Spanish Flanders was of 45 mounted coys (4247 men) & 67 foot coys (12 035 men) in December of 1638. In Luxemburg on winterquarters were 5 additional foot regiments (around 6,000): Adelshofen (10 coys), Le Fosse (10 coys), Fernemont (9 coys), Beckh (6 coys). These troops were under Piccolomini command at the relief of Thionville on 7 July 1639.

Hey! Wasn't Guilleaume de Lamboy part of the imperial troops? Good work indeed. Piccolomini also helped to relieve the siege of Saint-Omer earlier that year.
ОтветитьУдалитьAs far as I know Lamboy was on Imperial service, not Spanish in 1639. And evidently he was under Piccolomini's comand (as the senior commander in Flanders)
