In 1584 the Spanish captured the city of Ghent, and Captain Mary Ambree, along with several other Dutch and English volunteers, fought to liberate the city. Ambree eventually became the subject of an English ballad.

An alleged female French Legionnaire in the book Sowing Glory by P.C. Wren was referred to by the pseudonym "Mary Ambree" in order to protect her identity.
