The Eighty Years´ War.

Bommel Island.

December 1585.

More than four thousand soldiers from the Tercios of Mondragón, Íñiguez and Bobadilla find themselves trapped in a living hell.

A huge contingent crammed into a strip of land a few kilometers long next to the hermitage of Empel, surrounded by water, Dutch ships that bombard them relentlessly and a freezing humidity.

All options to open an escape route and flee the siege have failed, food is scarce and the only alternative is a suicidal military attack that is doomed to failure.

But a finding as improbable as it is prodigious will radically change the situation.

The morning of December 8, 1585 will be remembered as one of the most incredible and surprising episodes in the history of Spain.

An event that, on its own merits, received the name of "the miracle of Empel".
