1453‐1515 Spanish soldier known by the nickname Gran Capitan. Born in Andalusia, southern Spain, which bordered the Muslims, he was summoned to Isabella I at the age of 20 and distinguished himself in the wars against Portugal (1479) and the conquest of Granada (1481-92). When war broke out between Spain and France in 1495 over the Kingdom of Naples in southern Italy, he was sent to Italy, where he established Spanish rule in 1503. During this time he reformed the Spanish infantry based on that of Germany, strengthened its firearms equipment, and modernized tactics, laying the foundations for the Spanish army, which remained undefeated for the next 150 years.
