The **Battle of Furnes**, also known as **Battle of Veurne** and **Battle of Bulskamp**, was fought on 20 August 1297 between French and Flemish forces.

The French were led by [Robert II of Artois](/source/Robert_II_of_Artois) and the Flemish by [Guy of Dampierre](/source/Guy_of_Dampierre). The French forces were victorious. However, Robert's son [Philip](/source/Philip_of_Artois) was gravely wounded during the battle and died a year later of his wounds.[2]

The Flemish were supported by [Walram, Count of Jülich](/source/Walram%2C_Count_of_J%C3%BClich), who was killed during the battle.
