The Dijon march of 1513 was a successful campaign by the Confederates against the French city of Dijon .
After a few days of siege, the city had to surrender. In the peace treaty, all of the Confederations' demands were met: France's renunciation of Milan , Cremona and Asti, as well as war compensation of 400,000 sun crowns .
The liberation of Dijon was attributed to our Lady (Maria): in 1513 the Swiss lifted the siege on the day after a procession organized on September 11, 1513. On the same day in 1944, the German occupation army left Dijon. (Source St. Mary's Church in Dijon: explanation sheet)
