Battle of Marlheim

The Battle of Marlheim was a major battle of the Six Years' War and the last Stahlheimian victory of the war. An infantry brigade under the command of Lord-Marshal Pierre Gascou prepared to attack the town of Marlheim after victory in the Siege of Wittenburg. Knights of the Order of Saint Aldhard under the command of Grandmaster Heinrich Schwarz defended the town and intercepted the attackers, managing to drive them off at moderate cost to both sides. The Almeronian infantry then regrouped with their King, and the Knights of Aldhard regrouped near the town of Alstedt.
