1631 DUTCH WARS 1^ed Battle of Bois Duc 80 Years War Netherlands Spanish Forts

A rare 1631 account of the famed Eighty Years’ War battle, the Sige of s’Hertogenbosch. More commonly known as Siege of Bois-le Duc, this battle was the turning point for the English and Dutch as they were able to secure a stronghold in the city of s’Hertogenbosch, a city in which Spain had held for 50 years.

Author Daniel Heinsius describes not only the major points in the battle, but also casualties and aftermath of the battle. Worth noting, Heinsius offers detailed descriptions of various forts involved in the battle including Fort Isabella and Fort Anthony, both of which fell in the battle.

This first edition was published by the famed Dutch printer Elzevier.
