Vendôme has scarcely signed the capitulation when he learns that Staremberg is marching to the relief of Stanhope, unaware that he has capitulated.
The two meet on December 10 n the bloody battle of Villaviciosa, for which Philip V of Spain and the Archduke Charles both claim victory, but the number of dead and wounded, the pieces of artillery and other weapons abandoned by the Allied army, and the strategic consequences in the war, confirm the decisive victory obtained by Philip of Spain.
Starhemberg is compelled to continue his retreat, harassed at every step by the Spanish cavalry.
