By the beginning of 1304 , the French king was ready to attack the Flemish rebels . While the French army , led by the king himself , marched north to attack William of Julich ' s force , the French navy sailed to Zeeland to unite with the army of Hainault and Holland . It was this combined northern force in Zeeland which struck the first blow on May 1 1 , 1304 when it soundly defeated Guy of Namur ' s army and navy at Zierkzee ; Guy was captured and the Flemish conquest of Holland was halted . Philip of Chieti , son of Count Guy , Count of Flanders , had gathered a strong Flemish army to stop the French invasion and taken up positions on the Pévèle hill . The Battle . After a day of fighting the outcome was undecided and negotiations were opened between 17 : 00 and 18 : 30 . When a French force under Guy de Saint - Pol tried to surround the Flemish , he was pushed back . Now the furious Flemish decided to launch a frontal attack , and surprised the French , who thought the battle was over for the day . The attack reached king Philip IV of France , who was wounded and his horse was killed . He barely escaped alive , because some knights around him covered his flight , paying for this act with their lives . The Flemish reached the royal tent , but then William of Jülich was killed . < br > As only the Flemish right wing had attacked , and the left wing under John I , Marquis of Namur was already leaving the battlefield , the Flemish right wing also withdrew . < br > The French chose not to pursue the Flemish . Aftermath . Both sides claimed victory : ( the rebels may have inflicted heavier casualties ) but the French remained in possession of the battlefield and forced a Flemish retreat . The French also conquered Douai and Orchies and burned down Seclin . After further minor battles , eventually the Treaty of Athis - sur - Orge was signed on 23 June 1305 which recognized Flemish independence , at the cost of the cities of Lille , Douai and Béthune , which were transferred to France , and the paying of exorbitant fines to King Philip IV .
