Informations supplémentaires

The Battle of Malplaquet, fought on 11 September 1709, was one of the main battles of the War of the Spanish Succession. The allied army, mainly consisting of Dutch and Austrian troops, but also with considerable British and Prussian contingents, was led by the Duke of Marlborough and Prince Eugene of Savoy, while the French and a contingent of Bavarians were commanded by Marshal Villars and Marshal Boufflers. By the norms of warfare of the era, the battle was an allied victory, because the French withdrew at the end of the day's fighting, and left Marlborough's army in possession of the battlefield, but with double the casualties. Villars claimed that a few more such French defeats would destroy the allied armies. Souce: Wikipedia
