BIOGRAPHY:JUAN OF AUSTRIA

Spanish Military ( Regensburg, Germany, 1545 - Namur , The Netherlands , 1578 ). Natural son of Charles V, who served as his military brother Philip II of Spain. Baptized in reality as Jerome ( Jeromín ), was raised in Castile and did not meet his father until he sent for him in his retirement from Yuste (Extremadura ) in 1556. Was Philip II who, following the probate indication of her father, recognized as a member of the royal family and he called the name of Juan de Austria, granting honors and decent income of an infant ( 1559 ).

Juan of Austria He completed his education at the University of Alcalá de Henares, but refused to pursue an ecclesiastical career. That success allowed him to finish his military career, to obtain the supreme command of the fleet of the Holy League that formed Spain, Venice and the Papacy against the Turks ( 1570 ); against the defensive strategy that advocated their wise counselors , Don Juan of Austria won their search criteria and plunge the Turkish fleet , which won in the battle of Lepanto ( 1571). The resounding success of Lepanto, which ended the Turkish power in the Mediterranean, fueled the ambitions of John of Austria.

The Battle of Lepanto ( 1571 ) Perhaps to end his ambitions, the king sent him as governor to the Netherlands ( 1576 ) , as extremely difficult in that they had failed the Duke of Alba and Luis de Requeséns , unable to stop the Protestant rebellion ; to convince him hinted at later launch an invasion of Englan

d and to place as king of that country with Mary Stuart. Don Juan soon realized what that project unfeasible, while daily failed in its attempt to contain the revolt of the Netherlands. Little was achieved with its commitment to withdraw Thirds and respecting the Flemish liberties for the rebels to recognize the Catholic faith and Spanish sovereignty ( Perpetual Edict, 1577 ). He died of typhus contracted during a military campaign.
