The Russians were commanded not by Petr Alekseyevich Palen, but by his son. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.202.188.129 (talk) 01:12, 17 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Mormant or Mormans[edit]

So what is it? French Wiki calls it the Battle of Mormant. It was fought in Mormant. I think this was a typo.
