However, he then deserted the Emperor and joined the League led by Moritz of Saxony in alliance with the French to overthrow the Emperor. When this campaign ended with the Peace of Passau in Aug, 1552, he deserted his allies and began a campaign of plunder in Franconia to extend his territories, leading to the 2nd Margraves&#039; War. He was eventually defeated in 1553 by a league led by Saxony and fled to France, losing all his lands. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]859883[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>France Barony of FRANQUEMONT&nbsp; Nicolas de Gilley&nbsp; (1537-63)&nbsp;&nbsp; Liard 1553</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]859884[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]859885[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
