Following French defeat at Walcourt at the hands of Prince George Frederic of Waldeck, command was given to Duke Francois Henri of Luxembourg, who gained his revenge at Fleurus, northeast of Charleroi. Waldeck’s German-Spanish-English army was decisively defeated, with massive losses in casualties and prisoners, and Luxembourg went on to secure Flanders.
