The Capture of Geertruidenberg of 1589, also known as the English betrayal of Geertruidenberg, took place on April 10, 1589, at Geertruidenberg, Duchy of Brabant, Flanders (present-day the Netherlands), during the Eighty Years' War and the Anglo-Spanish War (1585–1604).〔〔 On April 10, 1589, the garrison of Geertruidenberg, composed by a large number of English and some Dutch troops commanded by Governor Sir John Wingfield, surrendered the city to the Army of Flanders led by Don Alexander Farnese, Governor-General of the Spanish Netherlands ((スペイン語:Alejandro Farnesio)).〔〔Jonathan Israel. ''The Dutch Republic: Its Rise, Greatness, and Fall 1477–1806'' p. 234〕 Few days before, when pay did not arrive on time, the English soldiers mutinied, and was rumored that Wingfield had intended to surrender (or "sold") the city to the Spaniards.〔Mary Arshagouni Papazian p.186〕 The States-General and the Prince Maurice of Nassau ((オランダ語:Maurits van Oranje)) accused him of treason for its surrender, but Wingfield denied the charges against him. The fact was that Geertruidenberg was in Spanish hands.〔〔 The same year, in September, Parma sent a force, under the Count Peter Ernst of Mansfeld, to besiege Rheinberg.〔Israel. p. 29〕 The garrison, commanded by Sir Francis Vere, capitulated to the Spaniards in February 1590.〔〔Luc Duerloo p.46〕 ==See also== * Siege of Bergen op Zoom (1588) * Siege of Rheinberg (1586–1590) * Sir William Stanley * Rowland York * Spanish Army of Flanders * List of Governors of the Spanish Netherlands 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Capture of Geertruidenberg (1589)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
