Siege of Doway and Quesnoy Updates in September
Reports from Vienna and Paris describe a shifting war posture with plans for a 7 to 8 year truce and continued pressure around Quesnoy and Bouchain. French assaults near Quesnoy yield heavy losses for attackers as garrisons defend and bombard. Doway falls to French forces after prolonged siege and relief, prompting a Te Deum and royal notes on renewed frontier strategy.
