Sword of Gonzalo Fernandez de Cordoba
Cordoba was a Spanish general who fought in the Conquest of Granada and other Italian Wars.  He reorganized the emerging Spanish army and its tactics, and was regarded as the "father of trench warfare".  He was also called "The Great Captain" (Spanish: El Gran Capitan)
.  As a field commander, like Napoleon three centuries later his goal was the destruction of the enemy army.  Cordoba systematically pursued defeated armies after a victory to minimize future resistance.  He helped found the first modern standing army (the nearly-invincible Spanish infantry which dominated European battlefields for most of the 16th and 17th centuries).  The best generals of Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor and Philip II of Spain were Córdoba's pupils or were trained by them.
His influence on military tactics was profound.  Wellington's Torres Vedras campaign resembled Cordoba's campaign at Barletta and the Battle of Assaye is comparable to his campaign at Garigliano.
