City view of Sluis in Zeeland, with an attacking army in the foreground. The Attack on Sluis was an attack on the Flemish city of Sluis by the French exile Du Terrail in Spanish service on 12 July 1606 during the Eighty Years' War. Because the clock in the city did not strike at the agreed time, the attack failed. Copper engraving, published in the famous book by Willem Baudartius (1565-1640) 'Les Guerres De Nassau, (...)', Amsterdam, Michel Colin de Thovoyon, 1616.
