War of the Brabantian Succession
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The War of the Brabantian Succession[2] (Dutch: Brabantse Successieoorlog, French: Guerre de la succession du Brabant) was a war of succession triggered by the death of John III, Duke of Brabant. He had no sons, and as the Duchy of Brabant had a tradition of male (agnatic) primogeniture, his three daughters and their three husbands, namely the dukes of Luxemburg and Guelders and the count of Flanders, claimed (a part of) the inheritance.
