Four days after a treaty ended war between France and Holland, William of Orange, apparently unaware, attacked Duke Francois Henri of Luxembourg besieging Mons in modern Belgium. The Dutch suffered heavy losses in a violent clash near the Abbey of St Denis before the armies disengaged. News of the peace treaty was confirmed next day.
