Battle of Roosebeke crushes Ghent rebels
November 1382
Philippe van Artevelde led the Flemish weavers against a French royal army on a foggy hillside in West Flanders. Charles VI's chivalry rolled over the rebels in a brutal envelopment. Van Artevelde was found dead in a mud pit. Flemish autonomy from French royal taxation took a generation to recover.
