Battle of Wattignies (1793) (1793)
The
Battle of Wattignies
, during the French Revolutionary Wars, was fought near the village of Wattignies-la-Victoire, near Lille, France on October 15-16 1793. It resulted in the victory of the French under General Jourdan and Lazare Carnot against the Austrians under General Coburg. This victory forced Cobourg to lift the siege of Maubeuge and retreat eastward.
It should be noted that a number of historians are often making the confusion between 2 battles of the 2 Wattiginies existing in France: the
Battle of the Revolution (1793)
near Maubeuge and the
Battle of the siege of Lille
won by the Duke of Malborough in 1708 near Lille.
