After their defeat at the Battle of Ligny (16 June 1815) the Prussians successfully disengaged and withdrew to north west to Wavre where they reorganised and then three corps advance westward to attack the right flank of the French army at the Battle of Waterloo. The French were desultory in the aftermath of Ligny. Napoleon wasted the morning of 17 June by taking a late breakfast and going to see the previous days battlefield before organising a pursuit of the two Coalition armies.
