Battle of Cassel crushes Flemish rebels
August 1328
Newly crowned Philip VI led the French army into Flanders to break a peasant rebellion against the count of Flanders. Nicolaas Zannekin's farmers were ridden down on a sandy hill outside Cassel. The Valois opening reign began with a triumph that suggested France could still rule its rich northern fringe.
