message: For instance, 
Juan Carlos Losada, Batallas Decisivas de la Historia de España (Decisive battles of Spanish History), Ed. Punto de lectura, 2004 [Pavía, pg 224]: 
[...] los soldados imperiales estaban dispuestos a acabar con su vida [la de Francisco I], pero el monarca declaró su condición y se rindió ante los arcabuceros Juan de Urbieta, Diego Dávila y Alonso Pita; eran las 8:20 de la mañana. [...] Finalmente fue trasladado a Madrid, donde fue alojado en la Torre de los Lujanes [...]  
Translation: 
[...] the imperial soldiers were ready to kill him [Francis I], but the monarch identified himself and surrendered to the arquebusiers Juan de Urbieta, Diego Dávila and Alonso Pita; it was 8:20 in the morning. [...] Finally he was sent to Madrid, where he was accomodated in the Tower of the Lujanes [...]
Juan Carlos Losada is Dr. Historian, extraordinary prize laureate by the University of Barcelona, expert in Spanish military History.
The Spanish version is by far the more reliable and realistic version that I have rode so far, given the time of the battle, the development and the following consequences for the French king. Francis I falling just in front of the feet of a Nobleman, or a high officer during a battle in which around 45.000 men took part? The logic says that he fell among a bunch of simple arquebuisers, who killed his horse, and who faced their 15 minutes of fame. Why Spanish? because probably Francis I, who was a valiant man, being lost and desperate, attacked the core of the imperial army, which was invariabily formed always by Spanish arquebuisiers. And because Spanish sources from the time, and Spanish historians from nowadays say so. 
Probably the problems that you have to find such names in the books you own, are a consequence of the ancient tendency to ignore or neglect whatever the remarkable and succesful aspect of the Spanish History, in the best tradition of the anglo-saxon historiography, rather than due the lack of historic accuracy. I also found myself in troubles when I tryied to find (in order to weight points of view) in anglo-saxon sources information about the Siege of Cartagena (the worst defeat in the History of the Royal Navy, 1741), the defeat of Nelson in the Canary Islands (where he lost his arm, 1797) or the Spanish raid in Cornwall in 1595. Sometimes, it is a little bit disappointing entering the english wikipedia to read articles related to the Spanish History. Músico July 10th 2007.
