Damvillers () is a commune in the Meuse department in Grand Est in north-eastern France.
Damvillers was part of the Duchy of Luxembourg, which was part of the Spanish Netherlands . In 1552, France intervened in the princes' revolt and French troops laid siege to Damvillers. From 1559, Cristóbal de Mondragón was the governor of the fortress of Damvillers for more than a decade. The former relations with Luxembourg are reflected in the municipality's current coat of arms.
In 1659, the city and the fortress were ceded to the Kingdom of France as a result of the Peace of the Pyrenees.
When Damvillers was besieged in 1552, Ambroise Paré (1510âÂÂ1590) became the first surgeon to repair an artery during an amputation through use of a Ligature. His new method would soon replace the previously used cauterization.
