The following text was cited by both the Browning and Neerlands sources, but the material came from neither source. It was removed and the text was rewritten to include the actual information from Browning (I have a copy) and Neerlands (this is online in the Dutch language). If anyone has the original source, please add this back in with the correct citation.
On 26 June 1744 during the War of the Austrian Succession the fort was assaulted by 18 picked French companies under the command of General Boufflers. On 28 June the French opened a siege trench on the west side of the fort. When they sapped close to the defenses, the French artillerists established one battery with four cannons and a second battery with four mortars. The fort, which had only 75 to 100 defenders, capitulated to the French on 29 June 1744.
