The Battle of Mons-en-Pévèle falls within the context of the Flemish affairs that played a considerable role during the reign of Philip IV the Fair. Between the county and the kingdom, relations were often conflictual. On the one hand, the King of France was continuing the work of Philip Augustus and Louis IX, forging a state whose authority tolerated no challenge from its vassals; on the other hand, the wealthy County of Flanders harboured hopes of loosening the grip that royal power represented.

Political and military conflicts followed one after another. The county was invaded, occupied, then revolts put the King of France in difficulty right up to the Battle of Courtrai (1302), which proved a genuine disaster for the royal army. Philip the Fair decided to bring matters to a conclusion. The year 1304 marked his revenge: he won the Battle of Zierikzee at sea on 10 and 11 August, then the Battle of Mons-en-Pévèle on 18 August. This victory led to a treaty in 1305.
