Flooding Antwerp: The (Staggering) Siege of Antwerpen 1584/85 | Eighty Years' War
On the 3rd of July 1584 during the Eighty Years' War, a Spanish army under the Duke of Parma arrived in the region of Antwerpen. This was the beginning of a siege, so spectacular that the famous German poet Friedrich Schiller wrote a historical account about it. It was a siege characterized by a monstrous warship, the flooding of an entire region and ingenious siege craft such as huge fireships and a pontoon bridge spanning more than 700 meters across the River Schelde. This is how contemporary historiography tells the story of the staggering siege of Antwerpen:
