The Siege of Breme (26 March 1636 – 26 April 1638) was undertaken by Spanish forces under the Marquis of Leganés, Governor of Milan during the Franco-Spanish War (1635-1659), although it was Martín de Aragón, as capitán general of Cavalry, who is credited with putting an end to the siege.
The Fortress of Breme, at Breme, in Lombardy, covered Cazal and Vercelli and also defended both Montferrat and the Piedmont.
The French military commander, the Duke of Lesdiguieres (also known as Marshal Créquy) was killed there while reconnoitring, on 17 March 1638, after being sent to aid the beleaguered fortress.
Besieging force
The field officers, or higher, including the captains of the tercios that took part, or whose units were present at the siege, included the following:
- Marquis of Leganés
- Felipe da Silva
- Martín de Aragón
- Francisco de Orozco, 2nd Marquis of Mortara
- Ferrante Limonti
- Vicente Gonzaga
- Álvaro de Quiñones
- Tiberio Brancaccio
- Juan Vázquez Coronado
- Carlos de la Gata (Carlo della Gata)

The Royal Collection Trust has two etchings and engravings, printed on paper, of the siege; one, a high oblique view, by Bernardino Bassano (fl. 1635-38), with a key in Italian and another, oriented with north to top, by Giovanni Paolo Bianchi (fl. 1617-54), with a key in Spanish. Both show the location where the French military commander (maresciallo Chirichi, in Italian) was killed.
