These painful episodes in the history of Lorraine are recounted in his Suite des Misères et les malheurs de la guerre (1633), published in Paris by the publisher and print merchant Israël Henriet, following the example of the Suite des Gueux ou les Bohémiens et les Mendiants published earlier in 1622.
