As Frederick II of Prussia fought Austrians in Moravia at Olmutz, he sent Hanoverians, Hessians and Brunswickers led by Duke Ferdinand of Brunswick to drive the French across the Rhine. Louis de Bourbon-Condé Comte de Clermont made a stand at Crefeld, but his numerically superior force was heavily defeated and he continued withdrawing towards Cologne.
