The Capture of Schenkenschans was a battle during the Eighty Years' War which saw a small detachment from the army under Cardinal-Infante Ferdinand capture the key fortress of Schenkenschans. The event leading up to the capture would be the Siege of Leuven in which the French and Dutch armies suffered a major defeat against the Spanish Army of Flanders. This would lead to a total collapse of the French and Dutch campaign in the Spanish Netherlands and result in a total counter-offensive led by Cardinal-Infante Ferdinand which resulted in large successes not only in taking back the territory lost but as well as in the offensive campaigns within France and the Dutch Republic.
