5. comme le brave CriUoii à Arques, Grillon (1543-1615), one of Henry lV*s captains, arrived too late at the battle of Arques (1589), where King Henry defeated the duke of Mayenue. The king wrote to Grillon: "Penàa-toi, brave CriUon, nous avons vaincu à Arques et tu n*y étais pas." The king's saying became a proverb.
