Magdalena Moons

Magdalena Moons: Magdalena Moons and Francisco Valdez.

Magdalena Moons (1541 in Haag - 15 June 1613 in Utrecht) was famous for her role during the Dutch war of liberation, when she saved the city of Leiden during the siege by Spain in 1574.

Moons was a catholic, the daughter of the judge Pieter Moons. She promised the Spanish commander, Francisco Valdez, to marry him if he stopped the attacks upon the starving town for a while, as her relatives was there, with the result that reinforcements was given time to arrive and the siege was broken. The story was famous in its time and often told by both sides during the war.
