The Spanish Army is the land-based branch of the Spanish Armed Forces, whose first activity dates back to the 15th century, during the reign of King Ferdinand II and Queen Isabella.
History
The Assassin Ezio Auditore da Firenze regularly fought with Spanish soldiers during his journey to the country during 1492. They served the Spanish Inquisition by guarding the country's captive Assassins, and laid siege to Alhambra when Ezio came there to rescue King Muhammad XII.[1] When he travelled to Viana in 1507 to assassinate Cesare Borgia, Ezio was attacked by Spanish soldiers, despite their preoccupation with defending the town from Cesare's forces, given to him by John III of Navarre.[2]
The army enforced control of Spanish colonies such as Havana in the Caribbean,[3] and later Louisiana in North America after the French and Indian War, as the French were unwilling to surrender it to the British in a peace treaty. However, the Spanish were unpopular with the Louisianan citizens, causing a rebellion when they were blamed for people disappearing. Aveline antagonized them to draw the attention of governor Antonio de Ulloa, from whom she learned that the disappearances were a Templar plot to divert slaves for Rafael Joaquín de Ferrer to excavate Chichen Itza. Some Spanish soldiers were later bribed by Vázquez to occupy the Louisiana Bayou in an effort to eliminate the Assassin Mentor Agaté, and to seize control of smuggling operations in the region. Later, he used his rogue soldiers to attempt to block Spanish supplies for the Patriots in British America.[4]
