THE BATTLE OF TEXEL
The battle of Texel took place in the late 17th century;
During the third Dutch War, the British sited and proceded to make chase on a split Dutch fleet.
DeReuter was on the Dutch side and Sir Edward Sprague was under the command of Prince Rupert
on the British side. Whereupon Sprague stopped the entire rear of the English line to allow Von Trump
to catch up with him, so that he could make good a promise he had made to to King Charles II,
which was to bring Von Trump's head home on a platter, or die himself.
In keeping with his promise, Sprague was, unforutunately, killed in battle.
