Which battle was it, where an English force commanded by a Frenchman beat a French force commanded by an Englishman?

I reckoned it had to be early eighteen th century, because the French force could have been commanded by a Jacobite.

Almanza in 1707. Click http://members.tripod.com/~Glosters/28thfoot.html and scroll down to the fourth or fifth paragraph.
I should have added above that the result of this particular battle was the opposite of what you said...ie the British lost! Maybe there was quite a different battle - but with similar command structures - that ended as you claim.

No this was the one. thanks.

I got lost in the detail, it came up in a quiz ten or twenty years ago and I also wondered what the answer was.

Thanks.
