The French position in Italy changed with the disastrous defeat at Ramillies on 23 May. As a result, Vendôme was sent to Northern France in July and Philippe, Duke of Orléans assumed command in Italy, advised by Marshal Ferdinand de Marsin. Orléans joined La Feuillade at Turin and their combined forces assaulted the city three times between 27 August and 3 September, each one repulsed with heavy loss. The Siege of Turin ended in September when a relief force under Prince Eugene broke the French siege lines near Collegno.
