About the battle

The Battle of Pampluna or Battle of Pamplona was a battle fought during the Italian War of 1521–1526 on 20 May 1521 during which forces led by the Kingdom of Navarre with support from France conquered the Fortress of Pamplona from Spain. The battle coincided with an uprising by a part of the Navarrese population and the swift reconquest of all of Navarre from the Spanish.

After sustaining a cannonball wound from the Navarrese-French assault, Ignatius of Loyola experienced a spiritual conversion, going on to found the Society of Jesus (Jesuit Order) in 1540.
