  • El asedio de Aquisgrán tuvo lugar a finales de agosto de 1614, cuando el ejército español comandado por Ambrosio Spínola marchó de Maastricht hasta Alemania para apoyar a Wolfgang Guillermo del Palatinado-Neoburgo en el transcurso de la Crisis de la sucesión de Juliers-Cléveris.​​ A pesar de su estatus de Ciudad Imperial Libre, Aquisgrán estaba bajo protección de Juan Segismundo I de Brandeburgo, que antes había sido aliado de Neoburgo y después rival en la batalla por los Ducados Unidos de Jülich-Cléveris-Berg.​ En 1611 la población de religión protestante de Aquisgrán se rebeló contra el consejo católico de la ciudad y se hizo con el poder. Cuando Rodolfo II del Sacro Imperio Romano Germánico, en cumplimiento de la Paz de Augsburgo (1555) ordenó que se restaurara el orden anterior, los protestantes se aliaron con el Margraviato de Brandeburgo. Sin embargo, la inesperada llegada de un poderoso ejército español a las puertas de la ciudad provocó que los protestantes perdieran su empeño inicial y rindieran su ciudad a Spínola. Se instaló una guarnición católica en Aquisgrán y comenzó el proceso de volver a imponer la fe romana en la urbe germana. (es)

When the Holy Roman Emperor Rudolf II, observing the Peace of Augsburg, had ordered the previous state to be restored, the Protestants had allied themselves with the Margraviate of Brandenburg. The unexpected arrival of a Spanish army at the gates of the city, however, caused the Protestants to lose courage and surrender Aachen to Spinola. A Catholic garrison was installed and a process of re-Catholicization began. (en)
