Today's anniversary

 

French Admiral Claude de Forbin (1656–1733) had little faith in
the expedition from the start.

Today in 1708. A French fleet anchors near Fife Ness as part of the planned French invasion of Britain.[7]

NB (5,000 - 6,000 troops, from the French regiments of Bernay, Auxerre, Agen, Luxembourg, Beauferme, and Boulogne plus elements of the Irish Brigade were ready to embark)
