In this episode of Compact Warfare, we explore the Battle of Blenheim, one of the defining clashes of the War of the Spanish Succession. Fought on 13 August 1704, Blenheim saw the Duke of Marlborough and Prince Eugene of Savoy deliver a stunning defeat to the Franco-Bavarian army, saving Vienna from danger and shaking the military reputation of Louis XIV’s France. This is a story of dynastic politics, daring marches, battlefield deception, coalition warfare, and one of the great strategic victories of the early modern age.
