Skeletons found from centuries-old Dutch war with Spain

Three skeletons were found during archeological excavations in Den Bosch. The soldiers likely formed part of the army of Frederik Hendrik, who besieged Den Bosch in 1629. Between April and September 1629, Frederik Hendrik succeeded in surrounding and besieging the city by laying a line of dikes, mills and pumping stations, with which he pumped the water away. While victims of the Eighty Years' War are often found during excavations, this is the first time that it happened in Den Bosch.
