Siege of Naarden (1813–1814)
Siege from 1813 to 1814 during the War of the Sixth Coalition / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The siege of Naarden was an investment of the city of Naarden from November 1813 until May 1814 by a Dutch and Russian army as part of the liberation of the Netherlands during the War of the Sixth Coalition. This siege took months, since the French commander didn't believe that Napoleon was captured. Finally, the French soldiers were given a retreat with honour.[1]
