 The bargemen men were given a subsidy for life as well as many of the soldiers taking part in the city's capture.The Count of Mansfeld was sent to reclaim the city and after taking a number of small hamlets, he constructed a fort in Terheyde and then attempted to reduce Breda by starvation.The Dutch and English forces under Matthew Held however controlled the vital rivers points around Breda and so the poorly attempted siege ended in failure and Mansfeld retreated.
