| has gloss | eng: The Siege of Antwerp took place during the Eighty Years War from July 1584 until August 1585. At the time Antwerp was not only the largest Dutch city but was also the cultural, economic and financial centre of the Seventeen Provinces and of north-western Europe. On November 4, 1576, unpaid Spanish soldiery mutinied and plundered and burnt the city during what was called the Spanish Fury. Thousands of citizens were massacred and hundreds of houses were burnt down. Antwerp became even more engaged in the rebellion. The city joined the Union of Utrecht (1579) and became the capital of the Dutch revolt, which no longer was merely a Protestant rebellion but had become a revolt of all Dutch provinces. Spanish control Relieved from fighting the Ottomans in the Mediterranean and with his treasurys coffers replenished with the help of an increasing inflow of silver from the Americas, King Philip II of Spain sent Alessandro Farnese, Duke of Parma and Piacenza in 1579 to head the Spanish army in Flanders to regain Spanish control over the Low Countries (Flanders, Brabant and the United Provinces). |
