A few more maneuvers, and the royal army is on July 2, 1652, able to hem in the Frondeurs in the Faubourg St. Antoine with their backs to the closed gates of Paris.
The royalists attack all along the line and win a signal victory in spite of the knightly prowess of the prince and his great lords, but at the critical moment Gaston's daughter persuades the Parisians to open the gates and to admit Condé's army.
She herself turns the guns of the Bastille on the pursuers.
An insurrectional government is organized in the capital and proclaims Monsieur lieutenant-general of the realm.
