Battle of Noáin The Battle of Noáin or the Battle of Esquiroz , fought on June 30 , 1521 was the only major battle in the Spanish conquest of Iberian Navarre . It was a decisive victory for the Spanish against the invading Franco - Navarrese army . Prelude . Navarre had been conquered by Ferdinand II of Aragon in 1512 and united in 1515 together with Aragon and Castille in the Kingdom of Spain . The son of the former King of Navarre , Henry II had already made three attempts to recover his Kingdom , when he invaded again in 1521 , taking advantage of the absence of the Spanish army , dealing with the Revolt of the Comuneros . He sent a large French / Navarrese army commanded by General André de Foix , Lord of Lesparre , ( or " Asparros " or " Esparre " ) across the Pyrenees , consisting of 12 , 000 infantry , 800 mounted knights , and 29 pieces of artillery . With the support of the population , in less than three weeks , all of Navarre was conquered . The only opposition came from Ignatius of Loyola ' s Castilian garrison of Pamplona . He in turn was severely wounded , trying in vain to defend the city castle . The army then moved into Castille , besieging Logroño . In the meantime the Revolt of the Comuneros had been crushed at the Battle of Villalar in April , and the Spanish were able to gather a huge army of 25 , 000 men and moved on Navarre . On June 11 , Lesparre abandoned his siege of Logroño and retreated back into Navarre . On June 30 , both armies met in front of Pamplona . The Battle . The battle was fought in the extended plains between Noáin and Pamplona . The Spanish troops had grown to more the 30 . 000 men under command of Iñigo Fernández de Velasco , Constable of Castile and the Duke of Nájera , viceroy of Navarre . Despite being seriously outnumbered 3 to 1 , the French attacked , surprising the Spanish and gaining some initial success . But then Fadrique Enríquez , Admiral of Castile , moved his cavalry across the Sierra de Erreniega and fell upon the Franco - Navarrese rear guard . The bloody battle continued for several hours , but finally the bulk of the Franco - Navarrese was forced to surrender , after suffering some 5 . 000 casualties . André de Foix , wounded at the eyes , was amongst the prisoners . He was later released for a large ransom . Aftermath . This battle decided for good the future of Navarre as part of the Kingdom of Spain . The rest of the country was reconquered in the following days without meeting any resistance . Lower Navarre remained out of the reach of the Spanish and from there some minor attacks were directed on Fuenterrabía between 1521 and 1524 , but without permanent success . There is today a monument on the battlefield , where on the last Sunday of June , supporters for the independence of Navarre meet every year .
