The Battle of Worringen ends the War of the Limburg Succession, with John I, Duke of Brabant, being one of the more important victors.

The Battle of Worringen was fought on 5 June 1288 near the town of Worringen, which is now part of Chorweiler, the northernmost borough (Stadtbezirk) of Cologne. It was the decisive battle of the War of the Limburg Succession, fought for the possession of the Duchy of Limburg between on one side the Archbishop Siegfried II of Cologne and Count Henry VI of Luxembourg, and on the other side, Duke John I of Brabant.

The War of the Limburg Succession was a conflict between 1283 and 1289 for the succession in the Duchy of Limburg. The war was fought between Reginald I of Guelders, who married the daughter and heiress of the last Duke of Limburg, and the Duke of Brabant.

John I, also called John the Victorious was Duke of Brabant (1267–1294), Lothier and Limburg (1288–1294). During the 13th century, John I was venerated as a folk hero. He has been painted as the perfect model of a brave, adventurous and chivalrous feudal prince.
