 Battle of Ivry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The battle was a decisive victory for Henry of Navarre, the future Henry IV of France, leading Huguenot forces against the Catholic League forces led by the Duc de Mayenne.
Henry's defeat of the House of Guise was fleeting.
Mayenne charged with such a fury that after a terrible fusillade and a struggle of a full quarter of an hour which left the field covered with dead, following the defection of his mercenaries, the opposing left flank fled and the right was pierced and gave way.

 The Project Gutenberg eBook of The Life of Marie de Medicis, Vol. 3 (of 3), by Julia Pardoe   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
Meanwhile the Archbishop of Sens, the Comte de Béthune, and the Abbé de Bérulle, in conjunction [pg 041] and with the assistance of Richelieu, were still proceeding with the negotiation; and, finally, the King, anxious to terminate the affair, gave a commission to the Cardinal de la Rochefoucauld to conclude the treaty.
Marie de Medicis, however, instantly comprehended the motive of her visitor; and was at no loss to understand that the liberation of a man whom she had herself committed to the Bastille, and whom she had thus converted into an enemy, was intended as a counterpoise to her own power.
The Duc de Mayenne, who had espoused the royal cause against Epernon, was indignant at the ingratitude and coldness with which his services had been requited, and did not seek to disguise his discontent; while the nobles of Guienne, by whom he had been followed, were in an equal state of irritation.

 Charles of Lorraine, Duke of Mayenne - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Charles de Lorraine, duc de Mayenne, (March 26, 1554–October 3, 1611), or Charles de Guise, was a French nobleman of the house of Guise and a military leader of the Catholic League, which he headed during the French Wars of Religion, following the assassination of his brothers at Blois in 1588.
Mayenne was urged to claim the crown for himself, but he was faithful to the official programme of the League and proclaimed Charles, cardinal of Bourbon, at that time a prisoner in the hands of Henry IV, as Charles X of France, although this numbering is not accepted by historians.
Mayenne entered into negotiations with Henri IV while he was still appearing to consider with Philip II the succession to the French crown of the Infanta Isabella Clara Eugenia of Spain, daughter of Elizabeth of Valois and granddaughter of Henri II.

It was then christened “Mayennaise” in memory of Charles de Lorraine, duc de Mayenne, because he took time to finish his meal of chicken with cold sauce before being defeated in battle by Henri IV.
At any rate, the condiment became popular in France, and before long the recipe was known in England and subsequently in the United States.
