Battle of IJsseloord
The Battle of IJsseloord took place on 24 July 1629 near Arnhem during the Spanish Invasion of Veluwe, aiming at diverting the Dutch States Army from its Siege of 's-Hertogenbosch. Count Hendrik van den Bergh instructed Lucas Cairo, governor of Lingen, to spearhead the invasion together with a detachment led by Matthijs Dulken, and secure a crossing over the IJssel River to enter the Veluwe.
