Ku dhammee weedhan soo socota: Ka dib markii uu geeriyooday Archduke Ernest ee Austria sanadkii 1595, Albert waxaa loo diray Brussels si uu u noqdo Guddoomiyaha Guud ee Habsburg Netherlands. Wuxuu soo galay Brussels 11-kii Febraayo 1596. Waxa ugu horeeyay ee uu sameeyay wuxuu ahaa soo celinta booska ciidanka Spain ee Wadamada Hoose. Spain waxey wajahday ciidamada isku dhafka ah ee Jamhuuriyada Holland, England iyo France waxbana kuma aysan ogeen guuldarooyin ilaa 1590kii. Intii lagu guda jiray xilli ciyaareedkiisii ugu horreeyay ee ololaha, Albert wuxuu la yaabay cadawgiisa isagoo ka qabsaday Calais iyo Ardres oo u dhow Faransiiska iyo Hulst oo ka timid Holland. Guulahaas waxaa si kastaba ha ahaatee ka hor yimid musalafnimada saddexaad ee boqortooyada Isbaanishka dabayaaqadii isla sanadkaas. Sidaa darteed, 1597 waxaa lagu calaamadeeyay musiibooyin ciidan oo taxane ah. Stadholder Maurice of Orange wuxuu qabsaday qalcadaha ugu dambeeyay ee Isbaanishka ee ku haray waqooyiga wabiyada waaweyn, iyo sidoo kale magaalada istiraatiijiyadeed ee Rheinberg ee Electorate of Cologne. Intii u dhaxeysay 13kii Maajo iyo 25kii Sebtember 1597, Isbaanishku, oo ciidan badan diray bishii Maarso, ayaa si fudud ugu qabsaday magaalada Amiens khiyaano. Ugu dambeyntii ciidankii Isbaanishka ee Flanders
Amiens waxaa laga badiyay bishii Sebtember ee isla sanadkaas Henry IV ee Faransiiska inkasta oo dadaal aad u weyn loo sameeyay si meesha looga saaro Albert iyo Ernst von Mansfeld. Maadaama aysan jirin lacag ay ku bixiyaan ciidamada, Albert wuxuu la kulmay isbadalo badan.
