Good with creased card covers. Between the years 1804 and 1815, Napoleon created twenty-six Marshals of France.

BATTLEGROUND MARLBOROUGH: RAMILLIES 1706
by James Falkner

On Sunday, 23 May 1706, near the village of Ramillies in modern Belgium, the Anglo-Dutch army commanded by John Churchill, 1st Duke of Marlborough, inflicted a devastating defeat on the French army of the Duke de Villeroi. Marlborough's triumph on that day ranks alongside Blenheim as one of the great feats of his extraordinary military career. The French army was shattered physically and morally and, as a result, Marlborough's army overran almost all of the Spanish Netherlands, and gained an unshakeable advantage over the armed might of Louis XIV's France during the long War of the Spanish Succession.
