After William III left for England in 1688 to claim the English throne, Prince Georg Friedrich of Waldeck had been appointed Field Marshal of William's forces during the War of the Grand Alliance in the Spanish Netherlands.
He is successful in the battle of Walcourt, fought near the ancient walled town of Walcourt near Charleroi in the Spanish Netherlands, which brings to a close a summer of uneventful marching, maneuvering, and foraging.
The battle is the only significant engagement in the theater during the campaign of 1689.
