The 1703 siege of Kehl was a military action of the
War of the Spanish Succession, in which
French and
Spanish forces under the command of the
Duc de Villars captured the fortress of the
Holy Roman Empire at
Kehl, opposite
Strasbourg on the
Rhine River. Siege operations began on 20 February 1703, following Villars's early departure from winter quarters. The fortress, defended by 3,500 troops of
Louis William, the
Margrave of Baden-Baden, capitulated on 10 March.
