Trois Burettes
The Trois Burettes Inn was situated at the crossroads of Namur high road and the Old Roman Road, in Belgium.[1][2] It was a notable location in two battles:
- Battle of Fleurus (1690): Duc de Luxembourg, commanding Louis XIV of a French army soundly defeated Prince Waldeck’s Allied force of comprising mainly Dutch, German, and Spanish troops.[3] In this battle the right wing of the French army crossed two bridges near the Trois-Burettes.[4]
- Battle of Ligny (1815): The French Army of the North under Napoleon Bonaparte defeated a Prussian army under the command of Prince Blücher.[5] At the start of the battle the cross roads was occupied by the Prussian 5th Brigade (Greneral Tippelskirch's).[6] When the 5th Brigade advanced on Saint-Amand-la-Haye the 7th Brigade (General Brause's) occupy the position.[7]
