Provenance: Sotheby’s, Royal House of Hanover, Munich, 5-15 October 2015
Note: The Battle of Dettingen took place on 27 June 1743 during the War of Austrian Succession. It was fought between a Pragmatic Army, composed of British, Hanoverian and Austrian troops, and a French army commanded by the duc de Noailles.
While the Earl of Stair exercised operational control, the Allied army was nominally commanded by George II, accompanied by his son the Duke of Cumberland. As a result, it is now best remembered as the last time a reigning British monarch led troops on the battlefield.
