About the battle

The Battle of Claye took place during the War of the Sixth Coalition. Both sides made advances, but the French force, which was perceived by the Prussians to be much smaller, dealt many casualties to the Prussian troops. Some sources claim the battle was a victory for Prussia, while others claim the battle may have resulted in a French victory.
