Almost the negotiations failed when a child was shot: the mob was infuriated and the army decided to prepare the cannons in defence.
The people who witnessed these courageous acts gained huge respect for the bravery of de Baillet.
He succeeded to chase the regiments out of the city center and restore peace with the help of canon de Smet of the Cathedral chapter.
For this proof of alliance and loyalty to the emperor he was created 1st count of Baillet by order of Charles VI.
Count de Baillet could proudly inform the Great Council of this imperial arrest.
