The siege of Groenlo was a siege of Groenlo during the Eighty Years' War and the Anglo–Spanish War by a Dutch and English army led by Maurice of Nassau after it had followed an unsuccessful siege by Maurice in 1595.[1]

History

The siege lasted from 11 to 28 September 1597 and ended in the town's capture from its Spanish garrison.[2]

After the capture the troops moved to take Bredevoort and formed part of Maurice's successful offensives against the Spanish in 1597.[3][1]

Groenlo was then held by the States until a siege in 1606 by Ambrosio Spinola.
