  Battle of Rocroi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Battle of Rocroi, fought on May 19, 1643, resulted in a decisive victory of the French army under the Duc d'Enghien, against the Spanish army under General Francisco de Melo.
It was also the first major battlefield defeat of a Spanish army in a century, although historians have noted that Melo's German, Walloon, and Italian troops actually surrendered first, while the Spanish infantry cracked only after repeated cavalry charges and a vicious spell under the French guns.
In any case, Rocroi put an end to the supremacy of Spanish military doctrine and inaugurated a long period of French military predominance, although Spain continued its war against France with some success until its defeat at the Battle of the Dunes in 1658.

The Portuguese Bernardim Ribeiro’s pastoral novel Menina e Moça [the book of the young girl] (1554) was certainly the inspiration in part for the Spanish Jorge de Montemayor’s Diana (1559), one of the most important novels in Spanish literature.

 New Left Review - Susanna Hecht: On the Wild Coast
It was from there that coffee first came to Brazil, via a love affair between Francisco de Melo Palheta, a diplomat from Pará, and the glorious wife of the French Guyanese magistrate.
The contraband was tucked into the charming bouquet that Palheta—sent to arbitrate various accidental problems of Dutch and French colonialism in the region—offered as a little lembrança, after the exchange of kisses; a miniature act of biopiracy involving the commodity that would define the Brazilian economy for much of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
It was here that he spent the four years of his confinement before his second trial, writing the ‘wild, raving letters’—‘the climate alone is enough to set fire to the brain!’—that the Duchesse de Guermantes would gently deplore.
