Talk:Siege of Valenciennes (1566–1567)

No Motley, please
As described in Historiography of the Eighty Years' War and stated in Talk:Trial of Oldenbarnevelt, Grotius and Hogerbeets, the works of John Lothrop Motley should be regarded as unreliable, biased and outdated. I have therefore rewritten this entire article and its Dutch equivalent nl:Beleg van Valencijn (1567) (which I myself wrote in 2008, also largely based on Motley before I knew how unreliable his work was) based on better, modern, more objective sources. There is no reason/excuse anymore to resort to Motley; his work does not comply to scholarly standards, and hence not to Wikipedia's standards.
