The Siege of Maastricht in 1632 was a military operation carried out by the Dutch Republic against the Spanish-held city of Maastricht during the Eighty Years’ War. Led by Frederick Henry, Prince of Orange, the Dutch forces sought to capture the strategically located city to gain control over an important crossing of the Meuse River and to weaken Spanish influence in the southern Netherlands.
