Álvaro de Bazán, 1st Marquis of Santa Cruz de Mudela
(December 12, 1526 - February 9, 1588) was a Spanish admiral. According to Spanish sources, he was never defeated, a remarkable achievement in a fifty-year long career. His personal galley, La Loba (The She-Wolf), thus called by her golden figurehead, was feared by Spanish enemies and regarded with hope amongst Spanish sailors and allies. |
