The <entity_2> took place between January and <entity_3> during the <entity_0>. A <entity_6> army under the overall command of Maurice de Saxe, in a bold and innovative winter campaign besieged and captured the city of <entity_5>, which was then the capital of the <entity_1>, from its Austrian garrison. The <entity_6> were boosted by the fact that a large part of the <entity_0> was forced to return to Britain where a Jacobite Rising of 1745 had broken out and Bonnie Prince Charlie had won a stunning victory at the Battle of Prestonpans. After the <entity_6> made two breaches in the walls of <entity_5>, the Austrian defenders were compelled to surrender on <entity_4> in a <entity_7> that lasted just three weeks. The <entity_7> severely damaged his view of Austria's allies, principally Britain and the Dutch Republic, who he considered had done virtually nothing to protect <entity_5> from the <entity_6>. The <entity_6> followed up the capture of <entity_5> by taking other key cities and fortresses in the <entity_1> including Mons and Namur. <entity_5> remained under <entity_6> occupation until it was returned to Austria by the 1748 Treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle along with the rest of the <entity_1>, although it was January 1749 before the <entity_6> finally evacuated the city.
