Marlborough’s triumph shattered the illusion of French invincibility, marking the first crack in the towering edifice of Louis the fourteenth's reign. From Blenheim onward, France’s dominance would wither, and the Sun King, as he often referred to himself, once the master of Europe, would watch as the brilliance of his empire dimmed.
