A more important affair occurred near Zutphen, at a place called Warnsfeld, both of which towns have given names to the action.

"I have got them away from the enemy for this year," said Alexander; "and this I hold to be one of the best services that has been rendered for many a long day to your Majesty." During the period which intervened between the action at Warnsfeld and the death of Sidney, the siege-operations before Zutphen had been continued.
On the landward side the town was protected by a wall and moat sufficiently strong in those infant days of artillery. Near the hospital-gate, on the east, was an external fortress guarding the road to Warnsfeld. This was a small village, with a solitary slender church- spire, shooting up above a cluster of neat one-storied houses.
The ambuscade was successfully placed, before the dawn of Thursday morning, in the neighbourhood of Warnsfeld church. On the other hand, the Earl of Leicester himself, anxious as to the result, came across the river just at daybreak. He was accompanied by the chief gentlemen in his camp, who could never be restrained when blows were passing current.
