Renewing popular rebellion against Louis II Count of Flanders, workers and tradesmen in Bruges armed themselves against Royalist forces. Led by Philip van Arteveldt, whose father led a similar rising 80 years before, the Flemish popular army defeated the French Count’s forces and seized Bruges. However, they were destroyed six months later at Roosebeke.
