La Bataille Des Éperons... [French]

By Adolphe Mathieu

La Bataille Des perons... by Adolphe Mathieu recounts the pivotal Battle of the Golden Spurs, a significant event in medieval European history. Fought in 1302 near Kortrijk, Flanders, this battle saw the Flemish militia triumph over the French knights, challenging the established military dominance of the French nobility.

Mathieu's account delves into the political and social context of the conflict, exploring the tensions between the Flemish cities and the French crown. The narrative highlights the strategies and tactics employed by both sides, emphasizing the innovative use of infantry by the Flemish forces, which proved decisive against the heavily armored French cavalry. This book offers a detailed historical analysis of a battle that not only shaped the course of Franco-Flemish relations but also demonstrated the evolving nature of medieval warfare. A compelling read for anyone interested in military history and the struggles for regional autonomy in medieval Europe.
