Weakened by a series of religious wars in the 1590s, France under Henry IV was ill-equipped to deal with the powerful Spanish threat on its border with the Netherlands. In several quick and decisive moves, the Spanish captured the French-held fortress of Cambrai in 1595, followed soon by Calais and the strategically important fortress of Amiens.
