The Siege of Rheinberg 1586–1590, also known as the Capture of Rheinberg of 1590, took place at the strategic Cologne enclave of Rheinberg (present-day North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany), one of the principals crossing-points over the Rhine on the stretch between the Electorate of Cologne and the Dutch border,〔''He (Duke of Parma) then moved north to capture Rheinberg in February 1590, a Cologne enclave that provided access across the Rhine and facilitated the subsequent campaigns to outflank the Dutch Republic from the east.'' Wilson p.210〕 between August 13, 1586, and February 3, 1590, during the Eighty Years' War, the Cologne War, and the Anglo-Spanish War (1585–1604).〔〔 After an initial siege in 1586, and a long blocking by the Spanish forces until September 1589, Don Alexander Farnese, Duke of Parma ''(Spanish: Alejandro Farnesio)'', commander-in-chief of the Spanish army, sent a substantial force, under Peter Ernst, Count of Mansfeld, to besiege Rheinberg.〔〔Hennes pp.177–179〕 Despite the efforts by Maarten Schenck van Nydeggen (until his death at the Assault on Nijmegen on August 10, 1589),〔Brodek pp.400–401〕 and Sir Francis Vere (from 1590), to relieve the fortress city, the Protestant garrison finally surrendered to the Spaniards on February 3, 1590.〔〔''It was the occupation of Rheinberg by Spanish troops in that month which marked the inauguration of the fixed network of Spanish garrisons in north-west Germany.'' Israel p.29〕〔Luc Duerloo p.46〕 On August 19, 1597, the Dutch army led by Maurice of Nassau captured Rheinberg for the States in his successful campaign of 1597,〔Israel pp.29–30〕 but the following year the Spanish Army of Flanders led by Don Francisco de Mendoza retook the strategic place, forcing the garrison to surrender.〔Juan Valera p.521〕 ==See also== * Cologne War * Army of Flanders * Destruction of Neuss * Assault on Nijmegen (1589) * List of Archbishop-Electors of Cologne 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「Siege of Rheinberg (1586–1590)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
