The Liège Wars were a series of conflicts between the Prince-Bishopric of Liège and the Burgundian dukes Philip the Good and Charles the Bold, whose relative Louis de Bourbon had been imposed as bishop. The Liégeois were defeated at Brustem in 1467, and after a further rising Charles the Bold took and sacked Liège in 1468, largely destroying the city.
