At length the German emperor was driven by the French aggressions to join actively in the war, on the side of the Dutch. The English Parliament forced Charles II. to conclude peace with them. In the battle of Sasbach, Turenne fell . Sweden took the side of France, and invaded the elector's territory; but the elector's victory at Fehrbellin laid the foundation of the greatness of Prussia.
Brilliant and famous as a leader himself, and beyond all measure daring and intrepid, and enabled to cope with almost the best of those famous men of war who commanded the armies of the French King, Eugene had a weapon, the equal of which could not be found in France, since the cannon-shot of Sasbach laid low the noble Turenne, and could hurl Marlborough at the heads of the French host, and crush them as with a rock, under which all the gathered strength of their strongest captains must go down.
The Austrian general, Sztarray, was, notwithstanding the gallantry displayed on the occasion, also repulsed at Sasbach; the Wurtemberg battalion was also driven from the steep pass of the Kniebes, across which Moreau penetrated through the Black Forest into the heart of Swabia, and had already reached Freudenstadt, when the Austrian general, Latour, marched up the Murg.
