thanks, I have an avatar for most occasions!
A man for all seasons. :-)
oh, is there a year-long season for dock-heads?

1713 Treaty of Utrecht - I wdnt say they agreed. sort of imposed or forced. Wasnt this the war fought mainly out of spain? ( war of spanish succession) - Louis the Great's grandson inherited the throne of Thpain and he said - il n'y a plus de pyrenees
( " zee pyreness, zay no exist no more" ) as the Kingdom of France would then extend from Dunkirk to Granada.

result war

Louis later ( having virtually bankrupted his nation) that he should have made less war-war, and more loff-loff ( mistresses and kissing etc )
war of spanith succession
wasnt that the battle of almanza 1707 - the brits get booted off the spansih mainland and fight elsewhere
and....
Bourbon army was commanded by the Duke of Berwick, illegitimate son of James II of England, while Habsburg forces were led by Henri de Massue, Earl of Galway, an exiled French Huguenot. This makes it "probably the only battle in history in which the English forces were commanded by a Frenchman, the French by an Englishman."[8]
