History

The siege lasted from 11 to 28 September 1597 and ended in the town's capture from its Spanish garrison.[2]

After the capture the troops moved to take Bredevoort and formed part of Maurice's successful offensives against the Spanish in 1597.[1][3]

Groenlo was then held by the States until a siege in 1606 by Ambrosio Spinola.
