Years: 1637 - 1637
October

Breda, after being under Spanish control for a dozen years, is on October 10 recaptured after a ten-month siege by the Prince of Orange.

Despite repeated attempts, the Cardinal-Infante is unable to recapture this critical fortress, strengthening not only the Dutch but also his enemies at the Spanish court in Madrid.

Ferdinand also loses La Capelle, Landrecies, and Damvillers to the French, and is not only unable to capture Maubeuge but also loses significant ground to the French in the process.
