"Owing to ill-health of the Duke of Alba, Philip II, keen on prosecuting the war to recover his possessions in the Netherlands, appointed Luis de Zúñiga y Requesens to continue subduing the Dutch. One of the cities that had sided against the Spanish, Leiden was besieged by Resquens from November 1573 to July 1574. To break the siege, the Dutch cut of the dikes, and thus enabled ships to carry provisions to the inhabitants of the flooded town. As a reward for the city’s heroic defense, Willem van Oranje the following year granted them a university charter, from which the University of Leiden was established"
