An Entity of Type: societal event, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The siege of Jülich was a major operation in the second phase of the Eighty Years' War that took place from 5 September 1621 to 3 February 1622. A few months after the Twelve Years' Truce between the Dutch Republic and the Spanish Monarchy expired, the Spanish Army of Flanders, led by the Genoese nobleman Ambrogio Spinola, went on the offensive against the Republic and approached the Rhine river to mask its true intentions: laying siege to the town of Jülich, which the Dutch States Army had occupied in 1610 during the War of the Jülich Succession. Although the capture of the town would not allow for a Spanish invasion of the Republic, its location between the Rhine and Meuse rivers rendered it strategically significant for both sides, given that the United Provinces greatly benefited from

  • El asedio de Jülich fue un cerco que duró del 5 de septiembre de 1621 al 3 de febrero de 1622, en el marco de la campaña del Palatinado de la guerra de los Treinta Años. El ejército español de Ambrosio Spínola arrebató la fortaleza de Jülich a los neerlandeses (la ocuparon el 1 de septiembre de 1610 durante la Crisis de la sucesión de Juliers-Cléveris). Tras cinco meses de sitio, la guarnición tuvo que rendirse ante la imposibilidad de recibir ayuda de las Provincias Unidas.

  • The siege of Jülich was a major operation in the second phase of the Eighty Years' War that took place from 5 September 1621 to 3 February 1622. A few months after the Twelve Years' Truce between the Dutch Republic and the Spanish Monarchy expired, the Spanish Army of Flanders, led by the Genoese nobleman Ambrogio Spinola, went on the offensive against the Republic and approached the Rhine river to mask its true intentions: laying siege to the town of Jülich, which the Dutch States Army had occupied in 1610 during the War of the Jülich Succession. Although the capture of the town would not allow for a Spanish invasion of the Republic, its location between the Rhine and Meuse rivers rendered it strategically significant for both sides, given that the United Provinces greatly benefited from the river trade with the neighboring neutral states and Spain was pursuing a strategy of blockading the waterways which flowed across the Republic to ruin its economy. The siege operations were undertaken by a relatively small force under Count Hendrik van den Bergh, a Catholic cousin of Prince Maurice of Orange, while the Spanish main army under Spinola took positions along the neighboring Duchy of Cleves to prevent the States Army under Maurice to relieve Jülich. Located far away from the Dutch border, the town had strong defenses and was well garrisoned by a force under Frederik Pithan. Spinola therefore ordered a blockade to starve the defenders while they were submitted to regular bombardments. Pithan launched several sorties over the siege works, but they achieved little. An attempt by Maurice to sneak some troops across the Spanish lines also failed. In January 1622, the defenders, decimated by hunger and cold, surrendered to Van den Bergh. During 1622 and 1623, the Spanish Army completely evicted the Dutch troops from the rest of the Duchy of Jülich, as well as from the towns and castles that they held in Westphalia. Though the river blockade was ultimately unsuccessful, Jülich remained in Spanish control until 1660, and the Catholic victory was celebrated by artworks commissioned by the Spanish Crown and the Spinola family. Additionally, it was reported while it was ongoing by the fledgling press of the Northern and Southern Netherlands. (en)

  • Het Beleg van Gulik vond plaats van 5 september 1621 tot 2 februari 1622 tussen een Staats garnizoen en het Spaanse leger tijdens de Tachtigjarige Oorlog in de Nederlanden en de Dertigjarige Oorlog in Duitsland. De Spaanse commandanten Ambrogio Spinola en Hendrik van den Bergh sloten Gulik zodanig in dat het prins Maurits niet lukte om de stad te ontzetten. Op 22 januari 1622 werden voorwaarden tot overgave opgesteld en vroeg de Staatse bevelhebber Pithan twaalf dagen uitstel om een ontzet of voedseltransport af te wachten. Ontzet noch voedsel kwam. Op 2 februari moest Gulik op een eervolle wijze capituleren. (nl)
