The French had fortified the village and their line extended almost 4 miles along a ridge. Prince Eugene attacked the Bavarians on the French left flank, whilst Marlborough attacked Blenheim directly, driving his cavalry and infantry straight through the centre of the French line and effectively splitting the enemy forces.
The loss to the French and Bavarian army was even worse with some 20, soldiers killed or wounded. Tallard was taken back to England and held prisoner where, disappointed by the food on offer in Nottingham, he introduced his gaolers to French bread and celery. For the first time in two generations the French had suffered defeat and the results were immediate, with Bavaria conquered and Vienna saved.
In reward for his services in defending Holland and Austria from invasion by the French, a grateful Queen Anne granted to Marlborough the Royal Manor of Woodstock near Oxford , and signified that she would build him, at her own expense, a great house to be called Blenheim.
