Torture of the English by the Dutch according to the English account

The Amboyna massacre was the 1623 torture and execution on Ambon Island (present-day Maluku, Indonesia) of twenty men, ten of whom were in the service of the English East India Company, by agents of the Dutch East India Company, on accusations of treason. It was the result of the intense rivalry between the East India companies of England and the United Provinces in the spice trade and remained a source of tension between the two nations until late in the 17th century.
