The Capture of Valkenburg of 1574, took place in early February 1574, at Valkenburg, South Holland, during the Eighty Years' War and the Anglo-Spanish War (1585–1604), in the context of the siege of Leiden. The fortress of Valkenburg, garrisoned by five companies of English volunteers commanded by Colonel Edward Chester, was of strategic importance to facilitate the Spanish efforts at Leiden.
