  • The Ten Years (Dutch: Tien jaren) were a period in the Eighty Years' War spanning the years 1588 to 1598. In this period of ten years, stadtholder Maurice of Nassau, the later prince of Orange and son of William "the Silent" of Orange, and his cousin William Louis, Count of Nassau-Dillenburg and stadtholder of Friesland as well as the English general Francis Vere, were able to turn the tide of the war against the Spanish Empire in favour of the Dutch Republic. They achieved many victories over the Spanish Army of Flanders, conquering large swathes of land in the north and east of the Habsburg Netherlands that were incorporated into the Republic and remained part of the Netherlands into the present. Starting with the important fortification of Bergen op Zoom (1588), Maurice and William Louis conquered Breda (1590), Zutphen, Deventer, Delfzijl, and Nijmegen (1591), Steenwijk, Coevorden (1592) Geertruidenberg (1593), Groningen (1594), Grol, Enschede, Ootmarsum, and Oldenzaal (1597). The territories lost by the 1580 'Treason of Rennenberg' were thus recovered. Maurice's most successful years were 1591 and 1597, in which his campaigns resulted in the capture of numerous vital fortified cities, some of which were regarded as "impregnable". His novel military tactics earned him fame amongst the courts of Europe, and the borders of the present-day Netherlands were largely defined by the campaigns of Maurice of Orange during the Ten Years.

  • De Tien jaren was de periode van 1588 tot 1598 in de Tachtigjarige Oorlog. In deze periode van tien jaar wist Maurits van Nassau, de latere prins van Oranje en de zoon van Willem van Oranje, samen met zijn neef Willem Lodewijk, de stadhouder van Friesland, het tij van de oorlog te doen keren. Zij behaalden vele overwinningen op de Spaanse troepen, waardoor grote gebieden in het noorden en oosten van de Spaanse Nederlanden aan de Republiek werden toegevoegd. Zo werd het door het 'Verraad van Rennenberg' verloren gebied heroverd. Voor Maurits waren de succesvolste jaren 1591 en 1597, waarin hij veldtochten ondernam. Tijdens de 'Tien jaren' veroverde hij enkele vestingen die onneembaar werden geacht. Hij verwierf met zijn vernieuwende krijgstechnieken faam onder buitenlandse vorsten. (nl)
