[PAR] [TLE] Siege of Mons (1691) [SEP] The Siege of Mons, 15 March–10 April 1691, was a major operation fought during the Nine Years' War, and was the main French objective for the 1691 campaign in the Spanish Netherlands.  The city was besieged and captured before the normal commencement of the campaigning season with minimal losses.  The outcome was not in doubt, but in a conflict dominated by siege warfare, neither the French army of King Louis XIV, nor the forces of the Grand Alliance under King William III, could bring about a decisive battle.  After the siege the duc de Boufflers bombarded the neutral city of Liege, whilst the duc de Luxembourg captured Halle, and scored a minor victory against the Prince of Waldeck at the Battle of Leuze in September.  Strategically, however, little had changed in the war, and both combatants returned to winter quarters at the end of the campaigning season. [PAR] [TLE] William III of England [SEP] William III (Dutch: "Willem" ; 4 November 1650 – 8 March 1702), also widely known as William of Orange, was sovereign Prince of Orange from birth, Stadtholder of Holland, Zeeland, Utrecht, Gelderland, and Overijssel in the Dutch Republic from 1672, and King of England, Ireland, and Scotland from 1689 until his death.  It is a coincidence that his regnal number (III) was the same for both Orange and England.  As King of Scotland, he is known as William II.  He is sometimes informally known in Northern Ireland and Scotland as "King Billy".
