In 1609 the Duke of Julich, a rich prince whose territories lay in the Rhineland, had died without issue. His only heirs were his cousins the Elector of Brandenburg and the Duke of Neuburg, both of whom were Protestants. Henry IV was bent on supporting the claims of these princes. The Emperor, meanwhile had sent an army to occupy Julich. In reply, Henry IV announced his intention of putting himself at the head of an army to expel the Emperor's troops. The conquest of Julich came in August, 1610, after the monarch's death and at the instruction of the Queen, Marie de Medicis, and her counselors. This pamphlet outlines the articles of surrender given to the troops occupying the garrison at Julich. ; Electronic reproduction ; 8 p. ; 16 cm.
