Talk:Siege of Besançon

Dutch Republic?
The infobox shows that the Dutch Republic was involved in the siege on the side of the Spanish. However, I highly doubt the truth of that. Can anyone offer any reference or proof to show that the Dutch indeed helped the Spanish defend the city? (Which I find very improbable, since the Dutch were busy defending their own country and Besancon was far to the south, in an area few expected the French to invade, leading me to think a few Spanish troops and the locals were the only defenders.)

 * Now updated; I think the confusion arises from alliance between the Dutch and Spanish, rather than troops actually present (which included Imperial forces under Vaudemont).

B class re-review
C class: There is a missing citation under Aftermath. Thanks for a good article about a little-known war. Note: Two of the External (and cited) links are now dead. I fixed the Goode ref. Djmaschek (talk) 04:34, 10 March 2020 (UTC)


 * I updated and replaced the AMAD one, I checked the others and they seem ok. Thanks. Robinvp11 (talk) 18:57, 23 March 2021 (UTC)
 * B class. I clarified the following: (1) Conde was the son of the Great Conde and (2) let's call him Duc d'Enghien in the introduction, since that is what he is called in the rest of the article. Djmaschek (talk) 02:24, 25 March 2021 (UTC)
