Talk:Valtellina War

Antoine d’Estrées
Etc.

Mentioned in infobox but not article. Probably should be added to article rather than deleted from infobox — he shares an unusual last name with someone who did, according to the article, in fact fight in the later invasions of this war. Unless this is the Duc of Savoy; I also got confused about where *he*came into this and I don’t think he was ever named. If he has been and I missed it, fine, but there is definitely an article about the duke of savoy if someone wants to track down reign dates. This was right about where the previously unintroduced Spanish were something something about attacking Genoa and Catholic and Protestant, plus a few other people like the House of Hapsburg. This becomes a little clearer if you know, as I do, a little bit about the period, but I question whether this is clear to someone who isn’t. I am disinclined to examining titles of royals and nobles at the moment, but someone needs to resolve these ambiguities. I am going to flag for a subject matter expert, if only for information. I will watch the page in case that turns out to be me, but If there are historians of the period out there, have at. I believe what is here is accurate, as far as it goes, and I added a bunch of wiki links, which may help. Maybe someone should make a chart. Things I am wondering: as far as the Swiss and the Spanish were concerned, was it strictly about religion? What countries were ruled by the house of Hapsburg? What about the Papal Enclave in France (Chateauneuf du Pape), was this involved? Did Lombardy share a border with France at the time? What about Savoy? Maybe a map would be better. I do like the idea of breaking these wars into smaller chunks like this, mind. Good idea, needs work Elinruby (talk) 03:50, 19 December 2020 (UTC)

Also, was Portugal in this? Aragon? Were they in the Hapsburgs at that point, and did the involvement of Spain imply England, ie the Catholic monarchs? Elinruby (talk) 03:56, 19 December 2020 (UTC)
