Ex Morton & Eden 105 (28 November 2018), lot 214; Classical Numismatic Group 108 (16 May 2018), lot 1054; Archer M. Huntington Collection, ANS 1001.1.18680 (Numismatica Genevensis SA VII, 27 November 2012), lot 579.
After much political wrangling, Willem was able to get the States-General to appoint the Duc d'Anjou as Sovereign Prince and Lord of the Netherlands. By doing so, the Dutch hoped that France would intervene against the Dutch. Although Anjou did not openly declare war on the Spanish, he did provide the Dutch with assistance in the form of 17,000 men. This force was then deployed at Kamerijk, located in the territory of the Habsburg Netherlands (now part of modern France). Alessandro Farnese, the future Duke of Parma and Governor General of the Netherlands soon after laid siege to the city. For almost a year, the citizens and French soldiers suffered terrible privations until Parma, in mid August, was forced to break the siege with the arrival of the Duc d'Anjou and his forces.
