Background:
In 1568, The Dutch revolted against the oppressive ruling of the Spanish Kingdom, which led to a bloody 80 years of war. Due to the Spanish/Portuguese alliance, the Dutch got banned from the Lisbon market, where they bought most of their spices to resell in other European ports.
Because of this ban, the Dutch organized and founded the VOC or the “Dutch East India Company” in an effort to loot and capture the Portuguese colonies in Asia. Through the VOC and other in-land efforts, the Dutch managed to seize their independence from the Spanish and become one of the world’s richest countries to this day.
During this time Militia Companies were in charge of protecting the cities against invasions and other threats. The Delft Blue Night Watch registers the moment when the Militia Company of District II of Captain Frans Banninnck Cocq and Lieutenant Willem van Ruytenburgh is getting ready to march out.
