The Battle of the Crapper (or properly known as the Battle of Badenburg)was the first major military engagement between the time-lost people of Grantville and a native army, in this case, a band of Catholic mercenaries under the command of Count Tilly. The battle earned its vulgar name from a disused outhouse where Gretchen Richter had hidden several young women and her infant son, Wilhelm, from the threat of an attack.
