Some forty of the garrison had been killed, but not a man of the attacking party.

The burgomaster sent a trumpet to the prince asking permission to come to the castle to arrange a capitulation; and before sunrise, the city and fortress of Breda had surrendered to the authority of the States-General and of his Excellency.
The terms were moderate.

The plundering was commuted for the payment of two months' wages to every soldier engaged in the affair.

Burghers who might prefer to leave the city were allowed to do so with protection to life, and property.

Those who were willing to remain loyal citizens were not to be molested, in their consciences or their households, in regard to religion.
