Having conquered the whole of Normandy, except Rouen, Henry laid siege to Dreux (February 1590). Reinforcements with the Duke of Parma, Mayenne marched against him and met him at Ivry (March 1590). Once again, the Leaguers were defeated, and Henry triumphed. The blockade of Paris defended by the Duke of Mercœur began in May 1590.
