Historical artwork depicting the Battle of Battle of Blenheim

The Duke of Marlborough and Prince Eugene of Savoy achieved a stunning victory over a larger French and Bavarian army on the banks of the Danube. Marlborough's bold cavalry charge across open ground split the Franco-Bavarian army in two, trapping thousands in the village of Blindheim. The victory shattered the myth of French military invincibility under Louis XIV, saved Vienna and the Holy Roman Empire, and established Britain as a major European military power.

The Duke of Marlborough marched his army 250 miles across Europe in complete secrecy before the Battle of Blenheim, one of the greatest deception marches in military history.
