July 1690 CE
The exiled François-Henri de Montmorency, duc de Luxembourg, who had been one of King Louis XIV's most successful generals in the Dutch War of 1672 to 1678), had been recalled to court as captain of the king's guards in 1681.
Made commander in chief of the royal armies shortly after France went to war with the other major European powers in 1689, he prevents an invasion of France by crushing Waldeck’s army at Fleurus, in the Spanish Netherlands, on July 1, 1690.
