The Battle of the Spurs on the 16th of August 1513 was a chaotic rout where French cavalry fled rapidly from English and Imperial forces, leading to the capture of high-ranking nobles including Jacques de La Palice and Pierre Terrail, seigneur de Bayard. French gendarmes threw away their lances and cut off heavy horse armor to escape, resulting in a humiliating retreat that left them breathless and exposed.
King Henry VIII commanded the English forces at the Battle of the Spurs in 1513, supported by Emperor Maximilian I and key commanders such as George Talbot, Earl of Shrewsbury, and Charles Brandon, Viscount Lisle. Henry VIII arrived at Calais on the 30th of June 1513 with a main force of 11,000 men and personally led the field operations against the French siege lines.
The Battle of the Spurs was named after the rapid flight of French cavalry who spurred their mounts to a gallop to escape English pursuit, a phrase that became a symbol of English military dominance in the early 16th century. Contemporary English sources claimed the French had learned to ride fast at the journey of Spurs, highlighting the speed and desperation of their retreat.
The town of Tournai fell to Henry VIII on the 23rd of September 1513 after a siege that began on the 10th of September 1513. The garrison had demolished houses in front of their gates on the 11th of September and burnt their suburbs on the 13th of September before negotiating with Henry and Richard Foxe, Bishop of Winchester, on the 20th of September.
Multiple high-ranking French nobles were captured during the Battle of the Spurs, including Jacques de La Palice, Pierre Terrail, seigneur de Bayard, and Louis d'Orléans, Duke of Longueville. The capture of these prisoners was a significant blow to French morale and resulted in 21 noble prisoners dressed in cloth-of-gold being taken by the English and Imperial forces.
Tournai was returned to France by treaty on the 4th of October 1518, after remaining in English hands since its capture in September 1513. The fortifications and a new citadel were reconstructed between August 1515 and January 1518, costing around £40,000 before Henry VIII planned to restore the town to France.
