In 1643 two powerful armies clashed: the French and the Spanish fought on the plain of Rocroi. It was not the first time. But this battle has gone down in History as the symbol of a change in European military hegemony: the Spanish Tercios were defeated by the French Regiments. But was that battle so decisive?
