Siege of Lingen (1605)
The Siege of Lingen of 1605 took place between 10 August and 19 August 1605, at Lingen, District of Emsland, Lower Saxony, between Spain and the United Provinces, during the Eighty Years' War.〔 After nine days of siege, the Spanish army of 16,000–17,000〔 strong under General Don Ambrosio Spinola, Marquis of the Balbases, took the Dutch-fortress of Lingen, despite of that the Prince Maurice of Nassau, who tried to preserve Lingen at all costs.〔〔''Narración de los sucesos principales de la historia de España'' p.14〕 The Dutch garrison led by Captain Maerten Cobben, hoping to be aided by Maurice's army, finally surrendered to the Spaniards. The rapid activity of the Spanish troops, commanded by Spinola, was crucial. The siege was part of the successful Spinola's campaign of 1605-1606.〔Van Nimwegen p.189–190〕
==Background==
After the devastating Siege of Ostend, on 2 July 1605, the Dutch headquarters received reports that Don Ambrosio Spinola with Spain's main army of Flanders was headed towards the strongholds of the Rhine, in Cologne.〔Van Nimwegen p.190〕 Maurice and his commanders, who in secretly, were planning the siege to Antwerp, had to abandon all hope. The movements of Ambrosio Spinola, not only prevented the Dutch troops landed near Antwerp, also forced to retreat the Dutch in their attempt to capture other minor towns.〔''Historia General de España'' p.10〕 The States-General, alarmed for the Spanish advance, ordered to Prince Maurice to head for the Rhine with all of his troops.〔
Spinola's army was initially estimated between 7,000 or 9,000 infantry and 3,000 cavalry, but a few days later, the new Dutch reports estimated the Spaniards numbered about 16,000–17,000 men.〔Olaf Van Nimwegen p.191〕 Maurice quickly, at the end of July, with an army of 61 infantry companies and 6 cavalry companies, went towards Deventer, arriving on 10 August, leaving behind 50 infantry companies to cover Ijzendijke.〔 2 days earlier, on 8 August, Spinola reached and laid siege the fortified town of Oldenzaal.〔Luc Duerloo p.260〕 At the next day, the Dutch garrison surrendered to the Spaniards. Then, in the same day, Spinola's army marched on Lingen.〔
