The revolt was crushed by Troops from Lorraine on 20 May 1525, and Albé was named by the Lord of Ensisheim as among those responsible for the sacking of the abbeys, and liable for reprisal.
Also ruled from the Habsburg residence in Ensisheim near Mühlhausen were numerous scattered territories stretching from Upper Swabia to the Allgäu region in the east, the largest being the margravate of Burgau between the cities of Augsburg and Ulm.
It is a vast plain that extends from the outlet of the valley of Thann in the west to the forest of the Hardt (beyond Mulhouse) in the east and from the Sundgau in the south to Ensisheim in the north.
1530 he devoted himself to glass-painting, and his works, which are of considerable merit, are now in the court-house of Innsbruck, and in the town-hall at Ensisheim, Alsace.
The French were by no means finished with, despite the 10 August failure, and a counter-attack followed on 19 August in the wealthy Mulhouse suburb of Dornach which forced the Germans to retreat to Ensisheim, 20 km to the north.
These troops are landed in Provence and the battles for the potash mines of Alsace, the Colmar Pocket, the capture of Ensisheim, Leimersheim and Rastatt are all battle honours.
