October 1789 CE

The patriot army clashes with a much-larger Austrian force at the nearby town of Turnhout on October 27.

The ensuing battle is a triumph for the outnumbered rebels and the Austrians suffer a "shameful defeat".

The rebel triumph breaks the back of the Austrian forces in Belgium and many local soldiers within the Austrian force desert to the patriot cause.
