The Siege of Utrecht took place between June 23 and August 31 1483 as part of the Hook and Cod wars and the Second Utrecht Civil War. == Prelude == The Burgundians had tried to control the Bishopric of Utrecht since 1456, when David of Burgundy had become the new Prince-Bishop. Supported by the Cods and opposed by the Hooks, this conflict was linked to the century-old Hook and Cod wars. When Charles the Bold unexpectedly died in 1477, opposition to David of Burgundy flared up again, culminating in the Second Utrecht Civil War (1481–1483). David of Burgundy had to flee Utrecht and seek support from the new ruler of Burgundy, Maximilian of Austria. Only back in control of the city of Utrecht since April 21 1483, Prince-Bishop David of Burgundy was surprised in his old episcopal palace by a daring and stealthy night raid of the Hooks on May 8. The Prince-Bishop was captured and then imprisoned in Amersfoort. When Maximilian of Austria heard this news, he formed a large army under Joost de Lalaing to besiege Utrecht. 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 Utrecht (1483)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
