Battle of Fort William Henry
The Battle of Fort William Henry in August 1757 resulted in Britain's loss of Fort William Henry to a French army under Louis-Joseph de Montcalm. In the aftermath of the siege, some of Montcalm's Native American allies violated his surrender terms and killed a column of British survivors (women and children as well as men), making it one of the notorious battles in the North American theatre of the Seven Years' War.
