Away from my notes at present, but search for Isenghien and Fieffe (he wrote sketches of the foreign regiments in French service). Note my spelling (I hope I have it correct). Enghien was native French.
Very nice, Clarence. The Bavarian (Catholic League) army was, in my opinion, one of the more combat-effective armies of the TYW, particularly under the leadership of Franz, freiherr von Mercy (KIA Allerheim, 1645).
