The Battle of Claye took place during the War of the Sixth Coalition.[2][3] 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.[4][5] Some sources claim the battle was a victory for Prussia, while others claim the battle may have resulted in a French victory.
