[edit] External Links
Two of the links dont seem to work for this entry (Battle of Pavia).
[edit] Scots?
Is there a source for the presence of any significant number of Scottish troops here? I know that the Duke of Albany was involved; but all I can find in Konstam's book, at least, suggests that he was commanding French and Swiss troops, not Scottish ones. Kirill Lokshin 02:42, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] German Monarch?
He was as Spanish as German why not German-Spanish Monarch then? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 83.36.68.97 (talk • contribs).
- And Dutch and Neapolitan as well! In any case, I've changed the wording to avoid focusing on his exact nationality. Kirill Lokshin 19:09, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
- Don't be confused by the Spanish connection. Charles may have been Carlos I, but he was more importantly Charles V, Emperor of the German Holy Roman Empire, and the heir of the House of Habsburg. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 83.198.57.110 (talk • contribs).

- Eh, this article isn't a place to debate the relative importance of various chunks of the Habsburg empire. ;-) Kirill Lokshin 18:05, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

- But it is the place to resolve the question posed as the preceding post has done, so your remark seems churlish. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 83.198.56.161 (talk) 16:33, 23 January 2007 (UTC).

[edit] The Black Band (Landsknechts)
I added some information on the Black Band (landsknechts) to the article, as I recently added a wiki page for that regiment. Larry Dunn 02:22, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
- Very nice! Thanks for digging that up. Kirill Lokshin 02:24, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Richard de la Pole -- "Suffolk"
Turns out that Richard de la Pole was actually not the Duke of Suffolk -- Konstam is wrong on that. He was, it's true, the son of a Duke of Suffolk, but never was duke himself, so I removed the name Suffolk (after some tinkering). Larry Dunn 03:04, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] D'Avalos and d'Avalos
We need to figure out some way of keeping the Fernando d'Avalos and Alfonso d'Avalos straight in the narrative; I'm guessing that just using "d'Avalos" for both is going to be too confusing. ;-) Kirill Lokshin 19:39, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
