During the last years of the 16th century the king of Spain had forced nearly all the Flemish towns to recognize his sovereignty. The inhabitants of Ostend, encour. aged by some aid from the Dutch, the English and the French by sea, held out against the armies sent from Spain for its conquest. For three years, 1601-1604, a Spanish army laid siege to Os- tend. An American historian, John Motley, tells in the “Hin tory of the United Netheriands,” the story of Ostond’s defense Ttalian engineers constructed | faced the future, as it shall again now." to Ally Ships a huge floating batter for the Spaniards, but the sea, ever the ally of the Belgians, wrecked it before it could serve its purpone; they built a gigantic -chartot drawn by 40 borwes; it was a moving fortress with guns, draw-bridges and anchors; but the wheels sank in the sand, tm movable, Resort was had to charge after charge, but all in the stout defenders held The Spanish general final the defenses and blast gape thru which the besiegers entered the city, Two- thirds of Ostend lay tn ruina.

About 1,200 knights were killed From the bodies of the dead the vic tors collected 700 golden spurs. The incident gave the name the Bate of the Spurs, The tide of battle later turned for a period against the Flemish cities, and in revenge for the Battle of the Spurs the king of France had Courtral burned to the ground. Few monuments of the expert ences of Courtral have survived such disasters. of the struggle.
