	Battle of Schooneveld - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Battles of Schooneveld were two naval battles of the Third Anglo-Dutch War, fought off the coast of the Netherlands on 7 and 14 June 1673 between an allied Anglo-French fleet commanded by Prince Rupert of the Rhine, and the fleet of the United Provinces, commanded by Michiel de Ruyter.
		Therefore during the battles mutual suspicion between the French and the British was enormous: the British were wary that De Ruyter might suddenly team up with the French; the French thought the orangist Lieutenant-Admiral Cornelis Tromp, readmitted to the Dutch fleet early in 1673, might well do the same with the English.
		But the resulting Battle of Texel was a Dutch victory, and England was forced to withdraw from the costly and unproductive war.
