Which French commander won the Battle of Sainte-Foy in 1760?

Chevalier de Lévis was the French commander who won the Battle of Sainte-Foy in 1760.

The battle was fought on April 28, 1760, near Quebec, less than a year after the British captured the city in the Battle of the Plains of Abraham. Lévis, serving as the French commander in Canada after the death of the Marquis de Montcalm, assembled approximately 5,000 regulars, militia, and Indigenous allies. He attacked a smaller British force commanded by General James Murray.

The French victory was tactically important because it briefly threatened to reverse Britain's capture of Quebec. Lévis's troops pushed the British from their position and captured much of their artillery. However, the French could not retake Quebec itself. British naval reinforcements arrived on the St. Lawrence River, forcing the French to withdraw and ultimately ending their hopes of recovering the city.

Bougainville and Vaudreuil were also prominent French figures in the war, while Montcalm had commanded French forces at Quebec in 1759. None of them was the French commander who won Sainte-Foy. Lévis's victory was the last major French field victory in the North American theater.
