WHAT DOES TERCIO MEAN IN ENGLISH?

tercio

Tercio

The Tercio or Tercio Español was a Spanish military unit of the Spanish Empire during the era of the dominance of Habsburg Spain in Europe and the Renaissance era. Cross of Burgundy was adopted as the symbol of the Tercios and the Spanish Empire The tercio was an infantry formation made up of pikemen, swordsmen and arquebusiers or musketeers in a mutually supportive formation, that in theory was up to 3,000 soldiers, although it was usually less than half this size. It was also sometimes referred to as the Spanish Square in other countries and the formation was also much used by other powers, especially the Imperial Army of the Holy Roman Empire. Spanish tercios were the first modern European army, understood as an army of professional volunteers, instead of paddles for a campaign and hiring mercenaries typically used in other European countries. The formation dominated European battlefields in the sixteenth century and the first half of the seventeenth century and is seen by historians as a major development of Early Modern combined arms warfare. The Tercios were the main troops of kings such as Charles I and other monarchs in Habsburg Spain.
