When the Flemish Militia Crushed French Chivalry With Goedendags

July 11, 1302: On the muddy fields of Kortrijk, common Flemish craftsmen and guild militiamen armed with pikes and brutal goedendag clubs faced the flower of French knighthood—thousands of heavily armored nobles charging in glittering splendor. In a shocking upset, the Flemings held firm, unhorsed the knights in the mire, and clubbed them to death in one of medieval history’s greatest reversals. This video reveals how the Battle of the Golden Spurs saw hundreds of gilded knightly spurs stripped from the dead as trophies, humiliated the French crown, proved that disciplined infantry could annihilate chivalry, and ignited Flemish pride for centuries to come.
