[edit] Four Things

1. Wrong date. 2. Wrong reasons. 3. The 'Spanish' were not Spanish. 4. They did not use 'muskets'. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 83.204.23.105 (talk • contribs).

1. Huh? I'm pretty sure the battle was on April 22; perhaps there's a Julian/Gregorian calendar issue here, though?
2. It's just a stub, so there's really no discussion of reasons; is there something specific you're referring to?
3. "Army in the Habsburg employ" would be more accurate; but Pescara, at the least, considered himself to be a Spanish nobleman.
4. Yes, "arquebuses" would be more accurate.

It should be noted that the date was, in fact, April 27 rather than April 22. Kirill Lokshin 03:26, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
