Spanish conquest of Iberian Navarre

1512–1524 · 16th century

The Spanish conquest of Iberian Navarre was the invasion of the Kingdom of Navarre south of the Pyrenees by Ferdinand II of Aragon, beginning in 1512. Navarrese and French attempts to restore the native monarchs, John III and Catherine, failed, notably at Noáin (1521), and the fall of Amaiur and Fuenterrabía by 1524 left Upper Navarre to the Spanish crown, while Lower Navarre stayed independent.
