The Siege of Breme (26 March 1636 – 26 April 1638) was undertaken by Spanish forces under the Marquis of Leganés, the Governor of Milan during the Franco-Spanish War (1635-1659). The French military commander, the Duke of Lesdiguieres (also known as Marshal Créquy) was killed there on 17 March 1638, after being sent to aid the beleaguered fortress.
The Fortress of Breme, at Breme, in Lombardy, covered Cazal and Vercelli and also defended both Monferrat and the Piedmont.
The Royal Collection Trust has two etchings and engravings, printed on paper, of the siege; one, a high oblique view, by Bernardino Bassano (fl. 1635-38) and another, oriented with north to top, by Giovanni Paolo Bianchi (fl. 1617-54), with a key in Spanish, and which shows where the French military commander was killed.
