The siege of Sluis
Ostend had already fallen into Spanish hands.
The siege of Sluis (1604) or battle of the Oostburg line was a series of military actions that took place during the Eighty Years’ War from 19 May to 19 August 1604. A States (and English) army under Prince Maurice of Orange and Horace Vere respectively crossed the Scheldt estuary and advanced on land taking Cadzand, Aardenburg, and Ijzendijke in the Spanish Netherlands. This soon led to the culmination of the siege of the Spanish-held inland port of Sluis.
Tough fighting included the defeat of a Spanish relief force under Amrogio Spinola and Luis de Velasco.
