Comment

"The successes were rapid in Flanders, and the battle of Fontenoy is a beautiful page of history. France, which had often offered peace, finally accepted it in October 1749, at Aix-la-Chapelle, and this year, Burgundy added a new laurel branch on the chest of the king, who had not yet left the breastplate.
