Nice that they mention the brave Flemish peasants ;). Although the picture of the goedendag (=good day) is incorrect!
Flemish myself, in schools we learn about Battle of the Golden Spurs (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_the_Golden_Spurs https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_the_Golden_Spurs). It's probably the battle we are most proud of, because us peasants stood up against a fancy French army.
As it was taught to me, we drove the enemy cavalry into a swamp, and were able to use our goedendag (accurate picture here: https://www.liebaart.org/figuren/goedendr.jpg https://www.liebaart.org/figuren/goedendr.jpg) to push them off their horses and pierce through the chain mail.
