The Battle of Morat ((French: Bataille de Morat; German: Schlacht bei Murten) took place during the Burgundian Wars (1474–1477) that was fought on 22 June 1476 between Charles the Bold, the Duke of Burgundy, and a Swiss Confederation army at Morat (Murten), about 30 kilometres from Bern. It was the second major engagement of the Burgundian Wars, and ended in a crippling defeat for Charles the Bold. The severity of the losses permanently crippled the Burgundian army and their military efforts.
