   🚩 I am very pleased to share with you "Turenne: Campaign of 1674", which outlines the brilliance of maneuver that even Napoleon admired. In the summer of 1674, France’s Marshal Henri de la Tour d’Auvergne, Viscount of Turenne, found himself facing one of the most perilous tests of his career. Europe was convulsed by the War of the Dutch, and the Holy Roman Empire had cast its weight behind France’s enemies. The Rhine frontier, long a region of uneasy peace, was now a corridor of fire and steel.

   Turenne, seasoned by decades of war, moved with the precision of a master strategist. The Rhine crossings became scenes of constant maneuvering before the coming decisive clash. As December set in, snow blanketed the valleys, masking troop movements and blurring the lines between friend and foe. Turenne’s scouts reported enemy columns shifting under cover of darkness, their intentions as cold and sharp as the winter air.

   Something was coming—something that would not only decide the fate of this campaign, but perhaps reshape the very balance of power in Europe. And as Turenne looked across the frozen fields, he knew the hour was almost upon him.

   Bismarck considers the French nobility Germanic. One French revolutionary says the French nobility came from Germania

   Can you do Almohad conquest of the Almoravid capital of Marrakech in 1147 and Battle of al-Buhayra in 1130, and when almohad continued their campaign, eventually capturing Marrakesh and establishing the Almohad Caliphate.

   Pas mal, ça aurait été bien de souligner que la Lorraine était un Duché semi indépendant, semi rattaché au SERG mais occupé par la France pendant cette période de l'Histoire.
