 | Alessandro Farnese, duke of Parma and Piacenza (1545 - 1592) was the son of Duke Ottavio Farnese, duke of Parma and Margaret, the illegitimate daughter of the Habsburg Emperor Charles V. Thus Alessandro was the cousin of Philip II of Spain and of Don John of Austria. |
| In the autumn of 1577 Farnese was sent to join Don John at the head of reinforcements, and it was mainly his prompt decision at a critical moment that won the Battle of Gemblours in 1578. |
| Farnese was to have turned his attention back to the northern Netherlands, where the Dutch had regrouped, but on December 23, 1589, the French king Henry III was assassinated, and Farnese was ordered into France. |
