Salentin's successor converted to Protestantism, triggering a war in the Electorate. In one of the first major sieges of the war, the Godesburg (fortress) was destroyed; the walls were breached by mines, and most of the defenders were put to death. Engraved by Frans Hogenberg, a Dutch engraver and artist of the 16th century.
