  The sieges of Amsterdam took place between 1572 and 1578, during the Eighty Years’ War. Amsterdam remained royalist after many cities rallied behind William of Orange in 1572. The sieges of the city proceeded in waves.
  On February 8, 1578, Amsterdam surrendered. This happened with the signing of a treaty known as the Satisfaction. In this, some concessions were made to both sides in order to be able to reconcile with each other. However, a disagreement arose, which eventually led to the Alteration. The reformed took an important part of the power and Amsterdam became orange-minded.
