Pictured in this 1597 illustration is the surprise attack on Amiens in France by the Spanish on March 11 that very year. The illustration is from a drawing whose inscription read: Portrait of the city of Amiens, when it was taken by surprise on Mar 11, 1597, with one carriage, and few people. Among the people was the governor of Doullens which city had been taken by the Spanish in 1595. The battle was part of the Franco-Spanish War, which in turn was part of the French Wars of Religion and the Anglo-Saxon War. Just months later, in September, the French retook the city.
