Battle of Staffarda
Victory of Staffarda by Jean Baptiste Morret
Part of theNine Years' Waror Guerre de la Ligue d'Auguste
Date 18 August 1690Location Staffarda, PiedmontResult French victory
France Duchy of Savoy, Spain
Nicolas Catinat Duke of Savoy
12,000[1] 18,000
2,000 killed / wounded[2] 2,800 killed / wounded 1,200 prisoners
The Battle of Staffarda was fought during Nine Years' War in Piedmont-Savoy, modern-day northern Italy, on 18 August 1690. Theengagement was the first major encounter in the Italian theatre since Victor Amadeus, the Duke of Savoy, had joined the Grand Alliance inopposition to France earlier that year. The battle was a clear victory for the French commander,Nicolas Catinat, who proceeded to take other
Piedmontese strongholds. The French also overran most of the Duchy of Savoy but due to sickness, lack of infantry, and problems withupply, Catinat was unable to besiege Amadeus's capital Turin as King Louis XIV had hoped.BackgroundBy 1690, the Nine Years' War was in its third year. The greater part of the forces involved on both sides was engaged in the SpanishNetherlands where the Dutch, with considerable English and a little Spanish help, concentrated their war effort. Along the Rhine whereultimately the war would prove no more decisive than the Netherland's campaign the German Princes provided the bulk of the troops toface France. The one area where the Allies had great hopes of forcing " a door into France, big enough for us to get in at", wastaly.[3]
The territories of Victor Amadeus II, Duke of Savoy, split into several distinct areas: the County of Nice, the Duchy of Savoy, the Duchy ofAosta, and the Principality of Piedmont. Nice occupied the region on the Mediterranean where the Alps meet the sea; Savoy occupied theegion where the Alps border the French province of Dauphin; and Piedmont, which also contained the capital city of Turin and was the
most important and populous region, linked the mountains to the Po valley.King Louis XIV tended to consider the Savoyard state as subsidiary to his rule despite Amadeus's determination to maintain his
ndependence he was often little more than a vassal compelled to follow the French king's wishes. Even before the outbreak of the war Louishad a military presence in Italy with the control of two imposing fortresses: Pinerolo, to the west, annexed by France fifty years earlier indefiance of the 1631 Treaty of Cherasco; and to the east in Duchy of Montferrat, the fortress ofCasale, acquired in 1681 after FerdinandCharles, Duke of Mantua, surrendered it to Louis in exchange for an initial payment of 1,000,000 livres and an annual subsidy of 60,000ivres.[4]

PreludeAt the beginning of 1690 Amadeus had yet to declare himself against Louis. Although his small army (8,000 men at the start of 1690)[5]aroused only French contempt, Louis understood that he had to retain Savoy in the French orbit. Ignoring Amadeus's own sovereignnterests, the French sought guarantees and made their demands on the Duke: Amadeus was either to send 2,000 infantry and three dragoonegiments to assist French forces in the Spanish Netherlands nearly half his army or, he was to unite them withNicolas Catinat's forces
for an attack on the Spanish Milanese; he was also to hand over to Catinat the citadel of Turin and, further down the Po River, Verrua. If hedid not do so he would, in Louvois' words, "be punished in such a manner that he remembers it for the rest of his life."[6]French demands from the Duke were nothing less than an attack on Savoyard independence but the intimidation ultimately proved counter-productive.[6] In the early summer of 1690, Amadeus realised he had to stand up to France and he began to look towards the Grand Alliance.But he had conditions. Amadeus reiterated his family claim to the Duchy of Montferrat, over which the House of Savoy was in perennialdispute with the Duke of Mantua, stipulating the razing of Casale as the minimum he would accept in this region; he also demanded the
eacquisition of Pinerolo as the sine qua non of Savoyard entry into the war on the Allied side, and sought to take over at least one Frenchplace in Dauphin.[6] Amadeus's hectic preparations for war and his negotiations for financial assistance from England and Spain, werefollowed by a declaration of war against France on 4 June.[6]Battlen 1690, the territories of Victor Amadeus II, Duke of Savoy, primarily split into several distinct areas, notably:Nice, Savoy and Piedmont,
which contained the capital city ofTurin.n July Catinat took command of French forces in Piedmont, totalling some 12,000 men. Amadeus, meanwhile, received 10,000 Spanisheinforcements[7] from the Spanish possession of Milan, and was also promised 5,000 Imperial troops under Prince Eugene of Savoy a
cousin of Amadeus.[7] Additionally, Amadeus's Protestant community, the Vaudois, who had previously suffered religious persecution fromLouis and Amadeus alike, had since become reconciled with their Duke, and took up arms in defence of their valleys little quarter wasasked or given when fighting the French.[8]Determined to punish Amadeus, Louis had ordered Catinat to use his force to burn and tax (put under contribution) large tracts of themountainous parts of Savoy and the Plain of Piedmont attempts by local peasants to retaliate were met by hanging anyone who was found
carrying arms.[9]
The Marquis de Feuquieres, however, sent by Catinat with 1,200 troops to Luserna, suffered a major setback and was forcedo abandon the town with the loss of some 600 men.[10]While Catinat's army manoeuvred on the Piedmontese plain Marquis de Saint-Ruth took most of the exposed Duchy of Savoy, routing theSavoyard forces; only the great fortress ofMontmlian, less than 60 km north ofGrenoble, remained in ducal hands. Although Savoy was faress important than Piedmont, its loss was a major setback for the Grand Alliance, making an invasion of France now much less likely.[6] In a
desperate attempt to halt the destruction and intimidation Amadeus against the advice of Eugene insisted on engaging the French with hisown and Spanish troops. Believing that Feuquieres was lost, and anxious to catch the French whilst they were weak, Amadeus left his campat Villafranca with the intention of attacking and surrounding Catinat.[10]Catinat left his camp at Cavourand marched south with the intention of taking Saluzzo; when Amadeus moved to stop him, the result washe engagement at the abbey of Staffarda on 18 August. Marshes and hedges impeded movement on the battlefield and sheltered the
Savoyard line, but French troops eventually broke Amadeus's army.[10] Only Eugene's command of the Savoyard cavalry and his conduct inetreat saved the Allied army from disaster.[9] Amadeus suffered 2,800 casualties and 1,200 prisoners; he also lost 11 of his 12 cannon.
Catinat's casualties amount to some 2,000 troops.[11]
AftermathCatinat subsequently took Saluzzo, Savigliano, and Fossano.[6] More of Amadeus's territory was put under contribution; those towns whichAmadeus ordered not to pay such as Ceresole and Autrive were torched.[12] When Eugene's Imperial troops finally arrived in Piedmontittle could be achieved due to Spanish hesitancy and reluctance: in Eugene's words: " they want to do absolutely nothing."[9] The Imperial
commander had to be satisfied with small raids against the enemy. In one such operation in September Eugene was unable to prevent his men who were used to the brutality of the Turkish wars castrating then killing 200 French prisoners.[9]Catinat proceeded to Susa, a vital fortress controlling communications with Brianon in Dauphin, opening trenches there on 11 November;he stronghold capitulated two days later. But hopes of taking Turin, and capturing the Asti region and south-east Piedmont in order to link
up with Casale had to be scaled back due to supply and communication problems, manning shortages, and sickness within the army. [6] TheFrench, therefore, unable to live off the resources of a devastated Piedmont, were forced into winter quarters in Savoy, Dauphin, andProvence. Eugene's imperialists found quarters in Montferrat much to the consternation its pro-French ruler, the Duke of Mantua.[13]Notes

La bataille de Staffarde (18 aot1690) en Italie est une des batailles les plus sanglantes du conflit qui opposa Louis XIV au duc de Savoie,Victor-Amde II, qui avait refus de cder la citadelle de Turin au roi de France en signe de fidlit. Elle se conclut par une victoirefranaise sur la Ligue d'Augsbourg. Le nom italien Staffarda est francis en Staffarde selon l'usage franais de l'poque. La bataille sedroula prs de l'abbaye de Staffarda, un lieu d'une grande valeur historique et culturelle, dont elle tire son nom. Victor-Amde II attendait'arrive des troupes impriales, qui auraient pu modifier l'issue de la bataille et le sort mme du duch, mais quand il apprit le nombre
effectif des troupes deNicolas de Catinat, seulement 18 000 hommes, il pensa pouvoir l'affronter sans aide de l'Espagne. Le gnral Eugnede Savoie, comme le marquis de Louvigny, commandant des troupes espagnoles, n'taient pas du mme avis. Mais Victor-Amde,ncoutant que son enthousiasme, attaqua immdiatement. Le terrain tait boueux et malsain. Victor-Amde voulut aligner ses troupes surdeux rangs, faisant passer l'aile droite sur un terrain marcageux et celle de gauche au bord du P. Le centre des troupes tait constitu de lafine fleur de la cavalerie espagnole et pimontaise. Il fit occuper les fermes autour de Staffarda. l'inverse, il ne jugea pas ncessaire decontrler une vieille digue, pourtant importante pour toucher le flanc franais. Il laissa trop d'espace libre entre les fermes, ce qui auraitpermis Catinat de pntrer les lignes pimontaises.Catinat ordonna ses dragons de traverser les troupes postes pour dfendre les fermes : les Pimontais furent impressionns par l'avanceennemie, et durent se retirer. Victor-Amde combattit sans relche pour reprendre ses positions, mais dsormais le gnral de San Silvestreavait russi s'immiscer au milieu du champ de bataille, et l'issue du conflit semblait irrvocable. Tandis que cela se passait, Catinat ordonna la seconde ligne d'avancer : l'impact fut si dur qu'il dispersa le front savoyard et Victor-Amde dut ordonner la retraite. La retraite de'arme savoyarde fut dfendue par les Gardes et les carabiniers de Savoie, pendant que le gros de la troupe se repliait sur Carignano et
Moncalieri. Les Pimontais et les Espagnols perdirent 4 000 hommes, 1 200 furent faits prisonniers et 1 500 furent blesss. Parmi les pertes,onze canons et beaucoup de drapeaux. Profitant du succs, Catinat occupa Savigliano et Saluzzo.Sources (it) Cet article est partiellement ou en totalit issu de larticle de Wikipdia en italien intitul Battaglia di Staffarda (voirla listedes auteurs)La Battaglia di Staffarda fu uno degli eventi pi sanguinosi del conflitto che Luigi XIV inizi contro Vittorio Amedeo II. Il 1690 era ilerzo anno della guerra dei nove anni. Il duca Vittorio Amedeo disponeva di soli 8.000 uomini in armi. Il Re Sole chiese che 2.000 fanti e treeggimenti di dragoni di Vittorio Amedeo fossero inviati nei Paesi Bassi o alternativamente contro gli Spagnoli di Milano e che le fortezze di
Verrua e Torino venissero occupate dai Francesi, altrimenti il duca sar punito in modo da ricordarsene per tutta la vita. Vittorio Amedeooffr allora la sua alleanza alla Lega di Augusta purch gli venisse assicurato l'abbattimento delle mura di Casale.Vittorio Amedeo II stava attendendo l'arrivo di cinquemila imperiali ma quando gli fu riferito che l'ammontare effettivo delle truppe delCatinat era di soli 12.000 uomini, pens di poterle affrontare con le proprie forze e i diecimila spagnoli.L'esperto generale, principe Eugenio di Savoia, come anche il marchese di Louvigny, comandante delle truppe spagnole, erano invece diparere contrario. Ma Vittorio Amedeo, seguendo il suo giovanile entusiasmo, attacc immediatamente.l terreno era acquitrinoso e malsano. Vittorio Amedeo volle schierare le sue truppe su due linee, appoggiando l'ala destra ad un terreno
paludoso e quella sinistra al fiume Po. Il centro delle truppe era costituito dal fior fiore della cavalleria spagnola e piemontese. Infine vennerooccupate le cascine intorno a Staffarda, ma non venne giudicato importante appropriarsi anche di una vecchia diga, posizione importante perpoter colpire il fianco francese, mentre fu lasciato, tra una cascina e l'altra, troppo spazio vuoto, che avrebbe permesso al Catinat d'incunearsira le file piemontesi. Il Catinat ordin ai suoi dragoni di travolgere le truppe poste a difesa delle cascine: i piemontesi vennero intimoriti
dall'avanzata nemica e dovettero ritirarsi. Vittorio Amedeo fatic non poco per riprendere le postazioni originarie, ma ormai il generale diSan Silvestre era riuscito ad incunearsi al centro del campo di battaglia e la sorte dello scontro appariva segnata. Mentre ci avveniva,Catinat ordin alla seconda linea di avanzare: l'impatto fu tale che il fronte sabaudo si disperse e Vittorio Amedeo dovette ordinare la ritirata.
La ritirata dell'esercito sabaudo fu coperta dalle Guardie e dai Carabinieri di Savoia, mentre il grosso ripieg su Carignano e Moncalieri.Piemontesi e Spagnoli ebbero 2.800 morti, 1.200 prigionieri, 2.700 feriti e persero 11 cannoni su 12; il Catinat ebbe 2.000 morti.Approfittando del successo, il Catinat occup Savigliano e Saluzzo e distrusse Ceresole.
