Then perhaps Turenne and the Great Conde will have to do. The French have not been known as capitulators for most of their history, be it pre-France proper or since.

They are massively important figures for France's history, and for the history of Thirty Years War. De la Tour (Turenne) was Napoleon's standard of reference for military excellence. They were true badasses.

Ce n'est pas possible! Napolean non era italiano! Er war korsische!
