Blenheim, battle of, 1704. In early 1704 the French and Bavarians in the War of the Spanish Succession were threatening the imperial capital of Vienna. The duke of
Marlborough marched from the Low Countries to the Danube to link up with his allies under Eugene of Savoy. On 13 August 1704 Marlborough attacked the 60,000–strong Franco‐Bavarian forces under Marshal Tallard at the village of Blindheim (or Blenheim) in Bavaria. The battle was decided by a major blow against Tallard's centre, which gave way as Eugene pushed forward on the right flank. The Franco‐Bavarian force lost 38,000 men while the victors lost 12,000.
