ALONSO NOT ALVARO[edit]

The great admiral, Alvaro de Bazan, had died many years earlier, in 1588, just before the sailing of the Armada, which he was to have commanded. It was ALONSO de Bazan, his brother, who was present at the sack of Cadiz in 1596.

Rename to Sack of Cadiz[edit]

"Capture" implies that the invaders established a permanent military presence, which is false. The word "sacking" is used more in th article itself.--Menah the Great (talk) 03:24, 3 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
