Siege of Neuss

The Siege of Neuss, from 1473–1474, was part of the Burgundian Wars. The siege, led by Charles the Bold against the Holy Roman Empire city of Neuss, was unsuccessful. Charles had been compelled by the approach of a powerful imperial army to raise the siege.

The failure of the siege of Neuss was attributed by the inhabitants of the city to the intervention of their patron saint, Quirinus of Neuss. [Richard Vaughan, Charles the Bold, London, Boydell, 2002, 312-335. ]
