The Battle of the Golden Spurs occurred in 1302, pitting a peasant army against a French army of noble knights. The Flemish rebels employed innovative tactics and fought with improvised weapons, challenging the superiority of the French forces. The battle served as a significant moment in the struggle for Flemish autonomy and represented the resilience of common people against oppressive rule.
