Pedro Navarro

Pedro Navarro, Count of Oliveto (c. 1460 – 28 August 1528) was a Navarrese military engineer and general who participated in the War of the League of Cambrai.

He played a major role in the Spanish victory at the Garigliano River on 29 December 1503 and was created count of Oliveto for his services.

Navarro personally led the Spanish forces during the conquest of Bougie (Béjaïa), Algiers, Tunis, Tlemcen, and Tripoli in 1510.

Navarro went on to accompany the French armies in their campaign against Milan (1515–1516), and he fought alongside King Francis against the Swiss at the battle of Marignano (September 13–14, 1515).

Continuing in French service, he fought at the Battle of Bicocca (April 27, 1522) and was taken prisoner when the Spanish under Prospero Colonna and Fernando d'Ávalos captured Genoa early the following year (1523).
