Siege and Sack of Philipsburg in 1693 Chronicle
The French besieged Philipsburg, drawing six battalions and shipping 300 wagons of provisions and ammunition. The city faced bombardment and a bridge of boats over the Weckre. On the 19th Melae, Kenigthus hill was occupied, the ramparts were attacked, and the garrison withdrawing left the town to the castle as inhabitants fled or were slain.
