abstract
  • The Battle of the Lippe was a cavalry action fought on 2 September 1595 on the banks of the Lippe river, in Germany, between a corps of Spanish cavalry led by Cristóbal de Mondragón and a corps of Dutch cavalry, supported by English and French troops, led by Philip of Nassau. The Dutch statholder Maurice of Nassau, taking advantage of the bulk of the Spanish army was busied in operations in France, besieged the town of Groenlo in Gelderland, but the elderly governor of the citadel of Antwerp, Cristóbal de Mondragón, organized a relief army and forced Maurice to lift the siege. Mondragón next moved to Wesel, positioning his troops in the southern bank of the Lippe river to cover Rheinberg from a Dutch attack. Maurice aimed then, relying in his superior army, to attract Mondragón to a pitched battle, for which he planned an ambush to brought the Spanish army to a trap. However, the plan was discovered; the Spanish were victorious thanks to Mondragón's long experience and inflicted a number of casualties to the Dutch, including Philip of Nassau and several other high-ranking Dutch and English officers in the army of Maurice of Nassau.
