History
On 22 August 1371, the Battle of Baesweiler took place between the armies of duke Wenceslaus I of Brabant on one hand, and dukes William II of Jülich and Edward of Guelders on the other. Wenceslaus suffered a humiliating defeat, and was captured by William II of Jülich afterwards. Edward of Guelders was killed not soon after the battle was over.
