The French Army had overrun much of the Austrian Netherlands after their success at the Battle of Fontenoy and the withdrawal of part of the British Army to deal with the Jacobite uprising at home. Count de Löwendal, a German who had served in a high position in the Russian army before becoming a commander in the French Army, arrived with 30,000 troops outside of Ostend in August 1745. After a few days of fighting in the open the French began a bombardment of the town and within a week the garrison of 3,600 had surrendered. They were permitted to march out with honour and were escorted to Mons. King Louis XV of France himself rode into the town on 3 September 1745. (en)
  • Het Beleg van Oostende in 1745 was een belegering van het Zuid-Nederlandse Oostende door de troepen van koning Lodewijk XV van Frankrijk. In 1745 openden de Fransen een nieuw front in de Oostenrijkse Successieoorlog. De Franse troepen van maarschalk Maurits van Saksen overrompelden de Oostenrijkse Nederlanden (1745-1748), en trokken in de richting van de Republiek der Verenigde Provinciën. Oostende werd verdedigd door Charles-Urbain de Chanclos de Rets de Brisuila. Oostende was een van de Barrièresteden en huisvestte daarom Engelse troepen en, in mindere mate, troepen uit de Republiek der Verenigde Provinciën. De Engelse militairen kloegen bij maarschalk van Königsegg, de Oostenrijkse opperbevelhebber, erover dat er meer kanonniers dan kanonnen waren. (nl)
