Dutch troops, led by Prince Willem Frederik Hendrik, pass Fortress Dendermonde in 1632, marking a strategic movement during the Eighty Years' War. Meanwhile, in 1672, French troops, under the command of King Louis XIV, cautiously advance across the frozen River Rhine, their journey mirrored by the ships of the militia company of Leiden, which traveled from Grave to Leiden during the same year. The Schutterij van Leiden, a local militia, prepared for battle order at Mookerheide. A soldier with sword and shield, depicted in an anonymous print by Jacob de Gheyn II and Hendrick, stands ready for action. In 1600, Maurice of Nassau's army toured Ostend, as shown in Floris Balthasarsz's engraving (left leaf). The French armies' crossing of the Rhine at Lobith, as captured in Charles Louis Simonneau and Adam's print, highlights the constant troop movements during this era of European conflict.
