The Battle of Kingston Heights (27 April 1863- 1 May 1863) was a battle that took place in Upper Rubrum. Republican forces were to take Kingston Heights in order to capture York (present-day Toronto) and culminate in an invasion of Concordia from the north. Had the Republicans succeeded, the Lucis Intervention would haven't been possible to intervene and engage the Republicans on Rubrumian soil.

The battle occurred after the Battle of Saint Laurence. During this time, General Sibley and du Champs were still unaware that the Republican and Federal Navies were destroyed and that intervention forces began to land in Lower Rubrum near Montreal until 10 days later. Only defended by a handful of regulars and militia forces, the Rubrumians were outnumbered. Despite their overwhelming numbers, the Republicans failed to attack on the intended date which was set on the 25th of April. The reason was to await for the arrival of the Federal forces under Marshal Kristain du Champs, which granted the Rubrumians more time to prepare. By the time the battle took place, Rubrumian Artillery began bombarding Republican positions, causing widespread panic among the Republicans. The attack continued until 1 May.

After the battle, the Republicans were on the defensive and started losing ground all the way to Quebecois City. It would take six more days before the Republicans would find out that they have been isolated due to the blockade by the Royal Navy on the Gulf of Saint Laurence.
