Everything about Battle Of Reimerswaal totally explained
The naval
Battle of Reimerswaal took place on
29 January 1574 during the
Eighty Years' War between a
Dutch and a
Spanish fleet. The Dutch were victorious.
In April
1572 the cities of
Flushing,
Veere and
Arnemuiden, located on the island of
Walcheren, swore allegiance to the Dutch prince. However, another city on the island, Middelburg, remained loyal to the king of Spain, and as a result was laid siege upon. After more than six months' worth of food, ammunition and other materials began to run out the Spanish commander
Sancho d'Avila made a second attempt to resupply the city by
sea (his first attempt failed. See
Battle of Borsele). On January 29 the Spanish supply fleet encountered a Dutch naval squadron and the Spanish were completely destroyed.
Middelburg surrendered nine days later.
