By the capture of the frontier forts of Hertogenbosch (1629) Maastricht (1632) and Breda (1637) he became famous as a master of siegecraft. In 1631 the United Provinces showed their trust in his leadership by declaring the stadtholderate hereditary in his family. One year after his death the independence of the Netherlands was recognized in the Peace of Westphalia.
