During the War of Independence, Niesburg was beseiged by the Venetians from July to late August 1427. Brasefort organized a defense of the castle but could not defend against the larger siege weapons. In August the town was destroyed and his family was killed. Brasefort's men also lost loved ones and they became enraged at this.
