CHARLES DE BOURBON (1490-1527), Constable of France, he leads the army during the battle of Marignan. Signed piece. Parchment 26 x 36 cm. "Ambonese", June 12, 1515. Precious document on the preparation of the conquest of Milan, a few weeks before Marignan. Mandate to Claude de Rouvray to recruit one thousand lansquenets in the King's pay, who will remain in garrison in the Duchy of Burgundy. He gives instructions for the recruitment and the pay. And orders him to lead them to "our dearest uncle the Sr. de la Trymoille" in good order and without any complaint being made during the crossing of the cities and places where they will pass.
