The Battle of Tuttlingen was fought in Tuttlingen on November 24, 1643. Those involved in the conflict entailed the French forces led by Marshal Josias Rantzau and the armies of the Holy Roman Empire led by Franz von Mercy. Technically, Mercy led a military force composed of Imperial, Bavarian, and Lorrainer troops. Ultimately, Rantzau's forces were defeated by Mercy's surprise attack. After having suffered defeat, Rantzau's troops retreated back across the Rhine River into Alsace. [Croxton, pp. 981, 987.] Moreover, Mercy held both Rantzau and seven thousand French troops captive.
