On December 18, 1572, a Spanish army under Don Fadrique Álvarez de Toledo opened fire on the Dutch city of Haarlem. This marked the beginning of a siege characterized by extensive mine warfare, a naval battle on the Haarlemmermeer, and the valiant efforts of armed citizens—including the famous Kenau Simonsdochter Hasselaer. The stakes were high—Haarlem had thrown its lot in with the Dutch Revolt, determined to free itself from the grip of Spanish rule. Don Fadrique wanted to nip this uprising in the bud by wiping out Haarlem and its rebellious inhabitants. This is how modern historiography tells the story of the staggering siege of Haarlem.
