The Siege of Thionville, which took place from June 16 to August 8, 1643, during the Franco-Spanish War (1635–1659), pitted the French army of Louis II de Bourbon-Condé, the future Grand Condé, in the service of King Louis XIV of France, against the garrison of Thionville in the service of King Philip IV of Spain. It ended in victory for the French troops.
This episode occurred a few weeks after the historic victory won by Louis II de Bourbon-Condé at the Battle of Rocroi on May 19, five days after the death of King Louis XIII.
