Damvillers

Damvillers (French pronunciation: [dɑ̃vile]) is a commune in the Meuse department in Grand Est in north-eastern France.

[3] In 1552, France intervened in the princes' revolt and French troops laid siege to Damvillers.

From 1559, Cristóbal de Mondragón was the governor of the fortress of Damvillers for more than a decade.

In 1659, the city and the fortress were ceded to the Kingdom of France as a result of the Peace of the Pyrenees.

When Damvillers was besieged in 1552, Ambroise Paré (1510–1590) became the first surgeon to repair an artery during an amputation through use of a Ligature.
