The fight had lasted ten hours, Cavalier had lost more than five hundred men, and the royals about a thousand.
"Cavalier," says M.de Villars, in his Memoirs, "acted on this day in a way which astonished everyone.

For who could help being astonished to see a nobody, inexperienced in the art of warfare, bear himself in such difficult and trying circumstances like some great general?
At one period of the day he was followed everywhere by a dragoon; Cavalier shot at him and killed his horse.

The dragoon returned the shot, but missed.
Cavalier had two horses killed under him; the first time he caught a dragoon's horse, the second time he made one of his own men dismount and go on foot." M.de Montrevel also showed himself to be a gallant soldier; wherever there was danger there was he, encouraging officers and soldiers by his example: one Irish captain was killed at his side, another fatally wounded, and a third slightly hurt.

Grandval, on his part, had performed miracles: his horse was shot under him, and M.de Montrevel replaced it by one of great value, on which he joined in the pursuit of the Camisards.

After this affair M, de Montrevel gave up his place to M.de Villars, leaving word for Cavalier that it was thus he took leave of his friends.
Although Cavalier came out of this battle with honour, compelling even his enemies to regard him as a man worthy of their steel, it had nevertheless destroyed the best part of his hopes.
