Vendome and Staremberg clash near Pratz amid siege plans
News from Barcelon and Venice reports Count Staremberg detaching 300 grenadiers to reinforce Con trecourt at Praiz while the Duke of Vendome advances to siege Cardona. The army entrenches, batteries are erected, and no battle occurred on the 17th or 5th, though cannonading occurred earlier. Reports also note Neapolitan marches to Milan, Rome envoys, Papal activity, and imperial political moves ahead of a potential winter peace.
