Did the Dutch sell cannons to the Spanish during the eighty years' war?

No, during the whole of this war, including truce, the Dutch did not sell any cannons to the Spanish.

A nice story about cannons though, from this war, is about the Spanish duke of Alva who melted looted cannons from the 'battle of Jemmingen' into a statue of himself which was put in Antwerp. This was the reason for his nickname by the Dutch, the iron duke.
