Cry God for Harry, England and Saint George!
The first battle of Höchstädt? Because I meant the second one before since it's more famous.
"Pompeius, after having finished the war against Mithridates, when he went to call at the house of Poseidonios, the famous teacher of philosophy, forbade the lictor to knock at the door, as was the usual custom, and he, to whom both the eastern and the western world had yielded submission, ordered the fasces to be lowered before the door of science."
Pliny the Elder, Naturalis Historia, 7, 112
Yep around the time of the first battle but I have basically given it away already!

Battle of the Schellenberg? It's more close to the Second battle but when I typed it in google pictures, yours came up

Battle of Fehrbellin during the Scanian War, known as Prussia's (Brandenburg at the time) baptism by fire.
Your turn.

My days of studying the Swedish Empire paid off .
I can barely make it out on my phone but I'm guessing something to do with the French-Indian War? White coats vs Red coats!

Hmm. Analysis time. No tricornes. Late 18th century. Brit grenadiers on the right. Definitely French attackers. Yorktown?

Markas is correct! A curb stomp battle by a numerically inferior force of 13 ships led by Admiral Yi Sun-Sin, Korea's Nelson against 133 Japanese vessels.

that's the battle of marignano during the war of the league of Cambray, september 1515, decisive franco-venetian victory against the swiss, the battle was mostly a stalemate until the venetian forces came, before the that the superior numbers of the french mostly equaled in effectiveness the less-numerous swiss, which lost mostly due to their failure to capture enemy guns early on in the battle and their ineffective command structure coupled with venetian re-inforcements.
