Note
Which construction it fits depends on which surrender is meant. The transitive uses form a passive: a town or a fortification can be surrendered to an enemy. Giving oneself up is intransitive, so it has no passive and pairs with have instead (the troops had surrendered). The reflexive keeps its object: she surrendered herself to the police, or to grief. Card players, too, have surrendered a hand.
