Dr. Hare gave one account of this battle, which saw a siege of Ingolstadt six days before it began. Prior to this battle, one side marched their forces out of Bedburg and won a decisive victory at Schellenberg. A key moment in this battle saw Leopold von Dessau lead a successful infantry attack against Ferdinand de Marsin and Maximilian II Emmanuel, the elector of Bavaria. It began with one side crossing the Nebel and then attacking an enemy position at the village of Oberglau, and saw an attack on a fortified position at Lutzingen. This clash ended with with the drowning of many French troops in the Danube, and saw the capture of the French general Tallard. Followed by subsequent battles at Ramillies, Oudenarde, and Malplaquet, it saw Eugene of Savoy assist the victorious British general. For 10 points, identify this decisive 1704 battle in the War of the Spanish Succession that became the namesake of a palace built to honor its victor, the Duke of Marlborough
