| Found in | 2002000544: The golden spurs of Kortrijk, 2002. Britannica Micro.: v. 6, p. 966 (In 1297 the French invaded Kortrijk as well as most of Flanders. In 1302, on Groeninghe Field just outside the town walls, the ill-equipped burghers and weavers of Flanders defeated a powerful cavalry of French knights; about 700 pairs of spurs were collected from the slain knights and hung in a church (since destroyed)- whence the name "Battle of the Golden Spurs") |
