Spinola leaves Maurice far in his rear…

1605 CE

Spinola leaves Maurice far in his rear while he makes a surprise attack on the eastern Netherlands by way of Münsterland in Germany.

He soon appears before Oldenzaal (only recently captured by Maurice) and this preponderantly Catholic city opens its gates to him without firing a shot.
