  • November 1708: Brandenburg units, i.e. Protestant soldiers, marched into the Papal States and advanced rapidly. The papal troops were driven back. Wirich Philipp von und zu Daun had a large part of the Papal States occupied. Ferrara was included. The capital was spared for fear of a second Sack of Rome.
