'''Grenoble''' is the largest city of the {{Wiki|Isère}} department of southeastern [[France]].<ref>{{WP|Grenoble}}</ref> It was one of the nine cities [[Leonardo da Vinci]] selected to hide his research on the [[haven]]s in 1519.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: The Last Quest of Leonardo da Vinci]]''</ref>

==History==
Just before his death in 1519, Leonardo da Vinci, afraid of possible interception, hid encoded information with trusted friends scattered around [[Europe]] under express instructions to destroy it should the [[Assassins]] not be able to contact them within a month of his death.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: The Last Quest of Leonardo da Vinci]]'' – Letter from Leonardo</ref> After a first round of clues was uncovered by the [[Italian Brotherhood of Assassins]] in the cities of [[Florence]], [[Venice]] and [[Rome]], they then contacted the local Brotherhood chapter at Grenoble, passing along a letter from Leonardo.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: The Last Quest of Leonardo da Vinci]]'' – Carnet de voyage 17</ref> Leonardo's letter about Grenoble informed the Assassins that the ally holding the clue to the havens, Sir [[Pierre Taillard, chevalier de Bayard]], was a cautious man and not easily approached. He then taked them with winning over his trust by reconstructing his coat of arms.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: The Last Quest of Leonardo da Vinci]]'' – Mini-map: Grenoble</ref> Having received the quest, the local chapter sent agents to four landmarks to investigate.

At the ''[[Tour de l'Isle]]'',<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: The Last Quest of Leonardo da Vinci]]'' – Portfolio 06</ref> an Assassin ovearheard someone yelling for help through a locked door and promptly picked the lock,<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: The Last Quest of Leonardo da Vinci]]'' – Card 115</ref> releasing a man who had been in the dark cellar.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: The Last Quest of Leonardo da Vinci]]'' – Card 034</ref> [[Jean (inspector)|Jean]], an inspector, thanked his saviour and explained that he had entered the tower to investigate a fire on the roof and ended up locked, offering his services as an investigator to the Assassin.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: The Last Quest of Leonardo da Vinci]]'' – Card 031</ref> Climbing the tower up to the roof,<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: The Last Quest of Leonardo da Vinci]]'' – Card 056</ref> the Assassin found a plaque detailing that a fire inspection had been recently undertaken there by Bayard himself.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: The Last Quest of Leonardo da Vinci]]'' – Card 019</ref> They also retrieved a piece of fabric with an embroidered red lion found near the plaque.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: The Last Quest of Leonardo da Vinci]]'' – Card 165</ref>

One Assassin went to the fortified mansion at ''[[Ferme de Vaulnaveys]]'',<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: The Last Quest of Leonardo da Vinci]]'' – Portfolio 22</ref> infiltrating the location and blending in with the workers<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: The Last Quest of Leonardo da Vinci]]'' – Card 040</ref> by disguising as a servant. Having followed a team of workers attending to a group of dignitaries on vacation<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: The Last Quest of Leonardo da Vinci]]'' – Card 041</ref> and learning through subtle interrogation that these aristocrats were known friends and allies of da Vinci,<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: The Last Quest of Leonardo da Vinci]]'' – Carnet de voyage 42</ref> the Assassin talked their way into being the one serving them tea.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: The Last Quest of Leonardo da Vinci]]'' – Card 041</ref> While alone with the three dignitaries, [[Clément Marot]], [[Marguerite de Navarre]] and [[François Rabelais]], the Assassin revealed themselves, though was met with some skepticism, leading to the trio testing them with a riddle each.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: The Last Quest of Leonardo da Vinci]]'' – Carnet de voyage 42</ref> Being able to answer correctly pleased the dignitaries, who collectively agreed to allow the Assassin to meet with Bayard, handing them a fragment of the coat of arms they would need to do so.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: The Last Quest of Leonardo da Vinci]]'' – Card 030</ref>

Seeking to gather information at the ''[[Place de la Granaterie]]'', the Assassins investigated three leads.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: The Last Quest of Leonardo da Vinci]]'' – Portfolio 31</ref> An old man at the square mentioned that Bayard's coat of arms featured a red lion, which he states represented Taillard completely.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: The Last Quest of Leonardo da Vinci]]'' – Card 127</ref> His feelings towards the town's protector was not shared by all, however, as a nearby wall seem to make fun of Bayard. His coat of arms was included in the inscribings at one point, to be used as a base for parodies, but had since been erased, probably by the authorities.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: The Last Quest of Leonardo da Vinci]]'' – Card 060</ref> A drunk soldier on a break also proved to be a good source of intel, with the Assassin directing the conversation to the right places.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: The Last Quest of Leonardo da Vinci]]'' – Card 135</ref> From him, they learned not only more about the coat of arms, receiving a fabric fragment similar to it,<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: The Last Quest of Leonardo da Vinci]]'' – Carnet de voyage 29</ref> but also heard that Bayard had dislocated his right soldier while supressing a mutiny some days prior, but kept on fighting.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: The Last Quest of Leonardo da Vinci]]'' – Carnet de voyage 36</ref>

Having uncovered the complete picture of Bayard's coat of arms, the Assassins went to ''[[Église Saint-Laurent]]''.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: The Last Quest of Leonardo da Vinci]]'' – Portfolio 01</ref> There they located a secret mechanism inside a panel in a wall under a discreet niche.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: The Last Quest of Leonardo da Vinci]]'' – Card 131</ref> Reconstructing the coat of arms in the mechanism, they unlocked a door leading down<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: The Last Quest of Leonardo da Vinci]]'' – Card 087</ref> into the ''[[Crypte Saint-Oyand]]'', where Bayard awaited to test them.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: The Last Quest of Leonardo da Vinci]]'' – Portfolio 16</ref> Before the Assassin could even speak, Bayard lunged into combat.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: The Last Quest of Leonardo da Vinci]]'' – Card 126</ref> Exploiting Bayard's injured soldier allowed the Assassin to keep up with the French military leader and he eventually stopped the fight, satisfied with the Assassin's performance.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: The Last Quest of Leonardo da Vinci]]'' – Card 075</ref> Bayard revealed that though Leonardo had mentioned the Assassin was a worthy opponent, he believed that words should be proven with actions. Finally convinced, he then handed them the translucid sheet with a line Leonardo had given him for safe keeping.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: The Last Quest of Leonardo da Vinci]]'' – Carnet de voyage 11</ref>
