Everything about Battle Of Mons-en-p V Le totally explained
The
Battle of Mons-en-Pévèle was fought on
August 17,
1304 between the French and the Flemish. The French were led by King
Philip IV the Fair. Both sides claimed victory: (the rebels may have inflicted heavier casualties) but the French remained in possession of the battlefield and forced a Flemish retreat. After further minor battles, eventually the
Treaty of Athis-sur-Orge was signed on
June 23,
1305 which recognized Flemish independence, at the cost of the cities of
Lille,
Douai and
Béthune, which were transferred to France, and the paying of exorbitant fines to King
Philip IV.
With this battle, the
golden
spurs that were collected by Flemish militiamen from the bodies of French cavalry in the
Battle of the Golden Spurs two years before were taken down and reclaimed by the French. The Flemish had hung them up in the Church of Our Lady in
Kortrijk as a symbol of victory in battle.
