Fernández de Córdoba, Pedro Navarro and the same Spaniards Tercios are included there. So rich experience overturned in the profusion of military treaties, where authors such as Diego de Salazar and the Marques de Marcenado included. This set will result in a military humanism because the military are also among the founders of the Royal Academies of History, Language, Mathematics, among others.
