One side in this battle featured several units that had been in French service, such as the John Drummond-commanded Royal ?ossois, while the other had been augmented a few months before by a force of five thousand Hessians led by Prince Frederick. One side's commander attempted a sneak attack in the night but only made it a few miles from the River Nairn an hour before daybreak. It resulted in the discontinuation of a common wood and leather shield called the targe, which had been essential to the Highland charge, rendered ineffective by new bayonet techniques, which aided in Murray's rout at the hands of Cumberland. For 10 points, identify this battle, which ended the Second Jacobite Rebell
