 | | BAYARD, THOMAS FRANCIS (18281898), American diplomatist, was born in Wilmington, Delaware, on the 29th of October 1828. |
 | | Bayard was the hero of a celebrated combat of thirteen French knights against an equal number of Germans, and his restless energy and valour were conspicuous throughout the Italian wars of this period. |
 | | When war again broke out between Francis I. and Charles V., Bayard, with 1000 men, held Mzires, which had been declared untenable, against an army of 35,000, and after six weeks compelled the imperial generals to raise the siege. |
