On July 26, 1703: During the Bavarian Rummel the rural population of Tyrol drove the Bavarian Prince-Elector Maximilian II Emanuel out of North Tyrol with a victory at the Pontlatzer Bridge and thus prevented the Bavarian Army, which was allied with France, from marching as planned on Vienna during the War of the Spanish Succession.

This historical event can serve as a powerful sermon illustration about how God works through the events of history. Consider using it when preaching about history.
