The presence of the Orange-Nassau family attracted other nobles, who built palatial residences in the old quarters of the city. The most impressive one, built by the Italian architect <a href="/wiki/Tommaso_Vincidor" title="Tommaso Vincidor">Thomas Vincidor de Bologna</a> for the first Dutch prince, was the first <a href="/wiki/Renaissance_architecture" title="Renaissance architecture">renaissance-style</a> palace built north of the Alps. In the 15th century the city's physical, economic and strategic importance expanded rapidly. A great church was built in <a href="/wiki/Brabantine_Gothic" title="Brabantine Gothic">Brabantine Gothic</a> style with an elegant 97-metre-high (318 ft) tower, called <i>Grote Kerk</i> (main church) or also <i>Onze Lieve Vrouwe Kerk</i> (Church of Our Lady).

In July 1581, during the <a href="/wiki/Eighty_Years%27_War" title="Eighty Years' War">Eighty Years' War</a>, Breda was captured in a <a href="/wiki/Siege_of_Breda_(1581)" class="mw-redirect" title="Siege of Breda (1581)">surprise attack and siege</a> by Spanish troops then under the command of <a href="/wiki/Claude_de_Berlaymont" title="Claude de Berlaymont">Claudius van Barlaymont</a>, whose <a href="/wiki/Sobriquet" title="Sobriquet">sobriquet</a> was Haultpenne. Although the city had surrendered upon the condition that it would not be plundered, the troops vented their fury upon the inhabitants. In the resulting mayhem, known as <i>Haultpenne's Fury</i>, over 500 citizens were killed.
