As you may know if you are a regular reader of this column that I get into various historical periods putting up things relating to them but with this war - that took place in the 1690s there isn't much at all. Which is a shame as it was quite an important event - being a war of a coalition against Louis XIV that took place all over Europe and America - I suppose the most famous battle for English speakers is the Battle of the Boyne pictured - see Huchtenburg painting of the Boyne. The Siege of Namur (colour pic) was a major event and was sort of depicted in the movie Tristam Shandy. There's not much on this period on the web - Nicole Kipar's site The Salacious Historian's Lair has some excellent galleries on the period.
