«Despite all this, and contrary to every expectation, Villeroi’s army was utterly defeated in less than four hectic hours, shattered beyond hope of recovery by the 62,000 troops led by Queen Anne’s Captain General, John Churchill, 1st Duke of Marlborough. Dazzled by the Duke’s sudden and subtle moves and changes in emphasis, even while the fighting was in full and brutal progress, the French and Bavarian commanders simply lost control of the escalating battle, although, intriguingly, they did not realize that this was so until it was too late to attempt a remedy.»
