Bouvines

Bouvines (French pronunciation: [buvin] ; Dutch: Bovingen) is a commune and village in the Nord department in northern France. It is on the French-Belgian border between Lille and Tournai.

On 27 July 1214, the Battle of Bouvines was fought here between the forces of the French King Philip Augustus, who was resoundingly victorious, against a coalition, led by Holy Roman Emperor Otto IV and the English King John (who was not present at the battle).
