| Popis: | The article deals with the military campaign of the Duke of Burgundy Philip III the Good, carried out in the Duchy of Luxembourg in August – December 1443 against representatives and supporters of William III, Duke of Saxony. During August-September, the Burgundian forces, with the support of representatives of the local nobility, managed to establish control over most of the duchy. The main actions were reduced to the capture of the two largest cities – Luxembourg and Thionville. As a result, Luxembourg was taken thanks to a carefully prepared operation that allowed the Burgundians to open one of the city gates at night and enter the city. The fall of the capital led to a treaty and the departure of the Saxon forces from the duchy. |
