The siege of Cassel (March 1761) was a failed attempt by
Duke Ferdinand of Brunswick to capture French-held
Kassel, the capital of
Hesse-Kassel. Brunswick lifted the siege after forces of the
Duc de Broglie inflicted heavy casualties on his forces at the
Battle of Grünberg, making continuation of the siege untenable.
