Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Celebration of the 8 octobre 2018. The Siege of Alkmaar (1573) was a turning point in the Eighty Years' War. The burghers of the Dutch city of Alkmaar held off the Spanish (who had set up their camp in Oudorp) between 21 August and 8 October 1573, with boiling tar and burning branches from their renewed city walls. On 23 September William the Silent followed up on a request by Cabeliau dating from the beginning of the siege and ordered the dikes surrounding Alkmaar to be breached, thereby flooding the polders in which the Spanish troops were camped. This forced the Spanish commander, Don Fadrique, the son of the hated Alva himself, to retreat and the last Spanish soldiers left on 8 October 1573.
Nederlands: Het Beleg van Alkmaar was de belegering van de stad Alkmaar tijdens de Tachtigjarige Oorlog door het Leger van Vlaanderen (de Spanjaarden). Het beleg duurde van 21 augustus tot 8 oktober 1573 en eindigde in een ontzet: het koninklijke Spaanse leger moest het beleg opgeven nadat Willem van Oranje opdracht had gegeven om de dijken rond Alkmaar door te steken. Alkmaars Ontzet betekende het einde van de belegering. Alkmaar was een van de eerste Hollandse steden die ontzet werden en die de Spanjaarden dus met succes hadden weten te weerstaan.
