The
Battle of Scheveningen or the
Battle of Texel (8 - 10 August 1653) in the
First Anglo-Dutch War resulted from the victory of the
Commonwealth of England fleet at the
Battle of the Gabbard in June 1653. The English used their earlier victory to impose a
blockade[?] on the coast of the
Netherlands. Admiral
Maarten Tromp responded by attacking the blockaders on 31 July 1653. In the ensuing battles of early August the English force defeated and killed Tromp (10 August 1653), but ultimately had to withdraw to refit.
