’New Troy’: The (Staggering) Siege Of Ostende 1601-1604 | Eighty Years War
On the 5th of July 1601, a Spanish force of about 12’000 men and 50 siege guns arrived at the Dutch town of Ostend. This was the beginning of a war of attrition which was to last for more than three years. Because of its long duration and high rate of casualties this siege became known as New Troy. It was a siege characterized by curious Spectators that were shipped in and out of the city and by ingenious siege craft never seen before, and rarely after. It was also a siege that proved the importance of bookworms. This is how Contemporary historiography tells the story of the staggering siege of Ostend.
