• Resumen

  • Since the end of the 15th Century until the crowning of Elizabeth I in 1558, the relationship between the English Crown and the Spanish Monarchy was friendly in spite of some aroused problems: the divorce of Henry VIII from Katherine of Aragon and the schism of the English Church from Rome. As examples of this alliance stand out two military interventions of English contingents in support of the Spanish troops. The first of them campaigned in the north of Spain with the aim of conquering the Gascony in 1512; the second fought in the Low Countries during St Quentin campaign in 1557.
