Historical Context: the War of the Spanish Succession

The War of the Spanish Succession broke out in 1701 after the death of King Charles II of Spain, who had no direct heir.

The conflict mainly pitted France under Louis XIV and its allies against the Grand Alliance, which included England, the Dutch Republic, and Austria.

This war quickly became one of the greatest European conflicts of the 18th century.

During this period, cavalry played a crucial role on the battlefields. French cavalry regiments took part in numerous campaigns and major engagements, notably at Blenheim, Ramillies, Oudenarde, and Malplaquet.

Cavalry charges were aimed at breaking enemy lines, exploiting breakthroughs, and pursuing retreating troops.
