Battles near Briancon reported as French routed
Reports from the era recount a major engagement near Briancon in Dauphine where Savoyards and French forces clashed. Noble officers are noted killed including the Duke of Arhoi's eldest son and John Campbell, with heavy casualties across multiple regiments. Marlborough and Eugene directed actions in woods, with 15 cannons taken and a prolonged, costly day for both sides. Other dispatches place enemy forces in Francia and Montmellian, preparations for sieges, and Allied victories amid overall ongoing campaigns across Savoy, Naples, and Poland.
