The Battle of Blenheim is quite famous, as that battle stopped Louis XIV from ruling France. Here is a little history for you, but I am not sure what you trying to do a comparison on or why, so hope this helps. The poem is pretty straight forward and the I have to admit the first time I read it was right here on this site (the main site) under classical poetry.
