Louis I , Count of Flanders Louis I ( – August 26 , 1346 , ruled 1322 – 1346 ) was Count of Flanders , Nevers and Rethel . History . He was the son of Louis I , Count of Nevers , and Joan , Countess of Rethel , and grandson of Robert III of Flanders . He succeeded his father as count of Nevers and his grandfather as count of Flanders in 1322 . He inherited the county of Rethel from his mother . In 1320 Louis married Margaret of France , second daughter of King Philip V of France and Joan II , Countess of Burgundy , who would later herself inherit the counties of Burgundy and Artois in 1361 . This marriage alliance made him break with the anti - French policy of his grandfather Robert III and great - grandfather Guy I . His pro - French policies and excessive taxations levied by Louis caused an uprising in 1323 . Beginning as a series of scattered rural riots , the peasant insurrection escalated into a full - scale rebellion that dominated public affairs in Flanders for nearly five years until 1328 . The rebels , led by Nicolaas Zannekin , captured the towns of Nieuwpoort , Veurne , Ieper and Kortrijk . In Kortrijk , Zannekin was able to capture Louis himself . In 1325 the King of France , Charles IV intervened whereupon Louis was released from captivity in February 1326 and the " Peace of Arques " was sealed . The peace didn ' t last long and soon hostilities erupted again which made the count flee to France . Louis was able to convince his new liege Philip VI of France to come to his aid and Zannekin and his adherents were decisively defeated by the French royal army in the Battle of Cassel . When the Hundred Years War started , Louis remained steadfast in his French policy , even with the county being economically dependent on England . His actions resulted in an English boycott of the wool trade which in turn sparked a new insurrection under Jacob van Artevelde . In 1339 the count had to flee his lands , never being able to return . Louis was killed in the Battle of Crécy in 1346 . Family . He and Margaret had one son : Ancestry .

Shock tactics Shock tactics , shock tactic or Shock attack is the name of an offensive maneuver which attempts to place the enemy under psychological pressure by a rapid and fully committed advance with the aim of causing their soldiers to retreat . The acceptance of a higher degree of risk in order to attain a decisive result is intrinsic to shock actions . Pre - modern . Shock tactics were usually performed by heavy cavalry , but were sometimes achieved by heavy infantry . The most famous shock tactic is the medieval cavalry charge . This shock attack was conducted by heavily armour ed cavalry armed with lance s , usually couched , galloping at full speed against enemy formation . Modern . After the introduction of firearms , the use of the cavalry charge as a common military tactic waned . Infantry shock action required the holding of fire until the enemy was in very close range , and was used in defence as well as attack . The favorite tactic of the Duke of Wellington was for the infantry to fire a volley and then give a loud cheer and charge . The culmination and downfall of the infantry charge was at World War I , when masses of soldiers made frontal , and often disastrous , attacks on entrenched enemy positions . The machine gun made this tactic a futile one and only with the invention of the tank did shock tactics once more become viable . During World War II the Germans adapted the shock tactics to modern mechanized warfare . The Blitzkrieg was a shock tactic based on tanks which gained considerable achievements during the war and was afterwards adopted by most modern armies . The US tactic of Shock and Awe at the Second Gulf War was a shock tactic based on overwhelming military superiority on land and unchallenged dominance in naval and aerial warfare .

Będzin Castle The Będzin Castle is a castle in Będzin ( pronounced : ) in southern Poland . The stone castle dates to 14th century , and is predated by a wooden fortification that was erected in 11th century . It was an important fortification in the Kingdom of Poland and later , the Polish - Lithuanian Commonwealth . History . The village of Będzin originated in the 9th century . The local wooden fort , that the records show existed as early as the 11th century , was destroyed during the Tatar invasion in 1241 and subsequently rebuilt .

The growing trading village of Bytom was given Magdeburg Law city rights shortly afterwards , in 1358 . The castle was meant to be a military outpost on the southwestern border of the Kingdom of Poland ( later , the Polish - Lithuanian Commonwealth ) .

The fortress was periodically repaired , but due to shifts in the layout of the borders and relations between Poland and its neighbours , it lost much of its importance . After the partitions of Poland , Będzin fell into Prussia n control and the castle became property of the Hohenzollern family . In 1807 , the nearby lands were transferred to the Duchy of Warsaw , and in 1815 , to the Congress Poland . In 1825 the castle was virtually falling apart , and when a piece of the stone crushed a passerby , demolition of the castle was ordered , but before it was started , the castle was declared a monument . In 1830s the castle was bought by Count Edward Raczyński and partially rebuilt , with a Protestant church temporarily housed inside , but after Raczyński ' s death in 1845 plans to open an academy or a hospital there were abandoned , and the castle once again fell into disrepair . The castle was not rebuilt again until the times of People ' s Republic of Poland , when in 1952 – 1956 , a museum was opened there . Museum . The castle became the site of a museum , Zagłębie Museum in 1956 . The museum has several collections : one of armament , from medieval to World War II times ; second dedicated to the history of the Będzin Castle ; third to the castles of the other nearby castles founded by Casimir the Great ( Eagle Nests Trail or " Szlak Orlich Gniazd " ) and the final one , to the military history of the Będzin region .
