The Battle of Lens marked the climax of a decade of war between France and Spain; the two contenders were exhausted, having fought in Spain, France, Flanders, Italy and Germany. The conflict would be settled in a pitched battle near the city of Lens, Flanders, in the summer of 1648. The Spanish had neutralised the Dutch for the campaign of 1648, so they prepared to launch a major offensive against the French, who had occupied important cities in Flanders for years. Thus, the new governor, Archduke Leopold William, brother of Emperor Ferdinand III of Habsburg, took charge of an army of almost 20,000 troops.The French were commanded by the Prince of Conde, who knew how to instil a spirit of resistance in his troops. The two armies carried out marches and countermarches to outwit their opponent and seize cities: Conde conquered Ypres, but the Archduke took Lens. Conde tried to rescue the city, but arrived too late. However, the campaign was not lost for France; the brilliant Conde decided to deploy his army on the plain to decide the campaign, its own prestige, and the fate of the war.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. In 1634, the Thirty Years' War had taken a spectacular turn; the great protagonists of 1630 had died: King Gustav Adolf of Sweden and Generals Tilly and Wallenstein. The Swedish army was disoriented without the presence of its charismatic king. Chancellor Oxenstierna was to preserve his legacy, so the Heilbronn League was formed, with various Protestant states in western and northern Germany, and the French financial support. With this, the Swedish-Protestants were able to launch various offensives throughout Germany, almost collapsing the Imperial forces, which were organizing even after the earthquake caused by the murder of Wallenstein. The King of Hungary Ferdinand, heir to the Holy Roman Empire, decided to assume command of the armies in the West and thus enhance his leadership. Cardinal-Infante Fernando had been appointed governor of Flanders; but the sea voyage from Spain to Flanders was threatened by storms, the English, the French, and the Dutch. It was much safer to travel from Italy and travel more than 1,000 km through the so-called Spanish Road. But this route, which partly followed the course of the River Rhine, was now on the front lines of the Thirty Years' War. Prince Fernando could not travel alone, so an army of 10,000 soldiers was formed to escort him and then fight against Holland. Ferdinand asked the Cardinal-Infante to help him conquer a small town, called Noerdlingen, and together they could fight a Swedish-German army, commanded by Generals Gustav Horn and Bernard of Saxe-Weimar. This book explains the general situation in Germany during the Thirty Years' War in the period 1633-1634. It describes in detail the tactics, armament and units of the Spanish, Swedish and Imperial armies. Analyze the conflicting interests of the various powers fighting the war. The objective of the text is to explain the battle that took place in the plain of Noerdlingen, the various protagonists who commanded the Tercios and Regiments that fought there; analyze the mistakes and successes of the generals. With all this, the stereotypes about the Spanish and Swedish tactical models are reviewed, which for a long time were the paradigm of tactics in European battle theaters. In this way, it seeks to answer which deployment was better, if the Swedish Brigades, or the Spanish Tercios.In 1634 the Swedish-German troops, heirs to the spirit of Gustavus Adolphus, dominated the battlefields. Victory was smiling on them. The Imperial and Catholic League armies looked dated. But in September, a Spanish army arrived, led by the brother of King Felipe IV.

El duque de Alba, nombrado capitán general de los Países Bajos, llegó a Bruselas el 28 de agosto de 1567 al frente de un ejército de 10.000 veteranos españoles, los tercios viejos provenientes de Italia, dispuesto a frenar la acción violenta reflejada el año anterior en la etapa la Furia iconoclata. Alvarez de Toledo llegaba a Flandes dispuesto a imponer la autoridad real, apresando y juzgando a los nobles flamencos considerados cabecillas de la revuelta. El conlicto estaba servido y los tercios de Cerdeña, Lombardía, Nápoles y Sicilia, convenientemente apoyados por compañías de caballería, demostrarían sobradamente su valía al entrar en acción y revalidaron la fama ganada contra Francia en la década anterior. El presente libro ofrece un detallado relato de los acontecimientos ocurridos en el año 1568, enriqueciendo con ello sustantancialmente la información que sobre las campañas de la rebelión de Flandes viene ofreciendo la colección Guerreros y Batallas. El lector encontrará en las páginas de este libro una pormenorizada crónica de acciones y batallas como las libradas en Heiligerlee, Groninga, Jemmi. LIBRO.…
