Which French commander won the 1758 Battle of Carillon?

The French commander who won the 1758 Battle of Carillon was Louis-Joseph de Montcalm.

Montcalm, formally the Marquis de Montcalm, commanded the French defense at Fort Carillon in July 1758. He organized roughly 3,600 to 4,000 French regulars, Canadian militia, and Indigenous allies behind field fortifications outside the fort. His force faced a much larger British army led by James Abercrombie.

The British launched frontal assaults against the French entrenchments without first bringing up heavy artillery. Montcalm moved among his troops during the fighting, maintaining the defense as repeated attacks failed. The victory greatly enhanced his reputation, although later accounts sometimes overstated his personal role and minimized the contributions of the Canadian and Indigenous forces. Montcalm is also associated with the 1757 capture of Fort William Henry and the 1759 defense of Quebec, where he was mortally wounded after the British victory on the Plains of Abraham.
