The record
On 10 April 1741, Prussian forces won the Battle of Mollwitz against Austria despite King Frederick II fleeing the field, an outcome that cemented his authority over Silesia.
Coincidence, not causation: the date is real and ephemeris-based, but a retrograde window is observed, never blamed. For entertainment, not navigation.
