The Battle of Villafranca unfolds on April 20, 1744, during the War of the Austrian Succession.
The armies of Spain and France, advancing into Kingdom of Sardinia, unsuccessfully attack entrenched positions at the pass of Villafranca, defended by Anglo-Sardinian forces.
Because of the high losses incurred, the defenders are forced to leave the harbor of Villafranca two days after the battle (22 April 1744).
