A Spanish Fury was a vindictive or rampant bloody pillage of a city in the Low Countries by Spanish regular or mutinous troops that occurred in the years 1572–1579 during the Dutch Revolt.
Unless contextually refuted, 'the Spanish Fury' denotes the one at Antwerp. Exceptionally, this singular expression refers to that entire mutinous campaign of 1576, to the city punishments of 1572, or to the whole of Spanish Furies by which about 175 cities and villages became raided.
