]]> The siege of Leiden took place between October 1573 and October 1574 in the context of the Eighty Years’ War between the Catholic Monarchy and the Dutch rebels. The capture of the city made it possible to put an end to the rebellion, thus hindering their trade. Francisco de Valdés faced various problems such as a mutiny by the Spanish tercios and the breaking of dikes by the Dutch rebels, forcing the Spaniards to retreat. In the present work, the painter van Veen depicts the situation in this place where disease abounds and food is scarce. Once the city was liberated in October 1574, the army of Dutch rebels sent food to the rebels, mainly bread and herring.
