From the consignor: This critical battle, fought on August 13, 1704, was a major blow to the French plans to eliminate the Austrian participation in the Grand Alliance. Once again the troops under the Duke of Marlborough came to the aide of the Holy Roman Emperor, Leopold. Not only was Austria defended, but the French Commander Marshall Tallard was captured and sent to England while an estimated 38,000 French soldiers were lost.
